eSafe Compared to Other Security Solutions
A balance between security, performance, and user experience is essential for effective
perimeter security. Changes to this balance adversely affect networks, create security
breaches, and generate complaints from users. eSafe’s innovative design and technologies
provide perfectly balanced content security. Other perimeter security solutions
compromise on various aspects or simply not provide certain necessary content security
functionality due to inherent limitations. The following table illustrates the ways
in which eSafe exceeds various aspects of other security measures.
|
Firewalls |
- Inspecting all incoming and outgoing content
- Blocking malicious code such as spyware, Trojans, and viruses
- Modifying suspicious code in web pages
- Enforcing web application usage policies
- Removing macros and embedded objects from suspect MS Office documents
|
|
IDP/IPS |
- Blocking 100% of known malware and over 95% of unknown malware
- Blocking active content threats containing complex string patters such as scripts
and exploits
- Selectively removing malicious code while still allowing safe web pages and/or page
elements
- Enforcing web application usage policies
|
|
UTM |
- Providing full performance without being limited by typically slow elements (e.g.,
content filtering)
- Scanning beyond simple downloaded files (such as EXE and ZIP) using complex antivirus
engine
- Conducting full deep-web inspection
- Accommodating large and/or high security organizations
|
|
URL Filters |
- Focusing on non-secure/malicious web site categories, not productivity categories
- Protecting against targeted attacks and dynamic malicious sites not found on "blacklists"
- Protecting against malicious code implanted in hacked web sites
- Conducting full deep-web inspection
- Using proprietary antivirus engine effective against unknown malicious code
|
|
Gateway Anti-Virus |
- Providing proactive layers of security that block over 95% of unknown malware
- Conducting full deep-web inspection and application filtering
- Allowing full scalability not limited by proxy technologies
|
|
Caching Security Applications |
- Inspecting and dynamically modifying suspicious web content
- Giving low cost/high benefit solutions
- Integrating with top caching proxy solutions to provide the best of both
