Overview

Total web protection.  Zero latency.

Until recently, many enterprises had little to no web security in place.   

Threats used to come in primarily from removable media and email.   And first-generation proxies were plagued by poor performance and high latency when trying to scan files for malware, so enterprises offloaded those tasks to separate machines, or avoided scanning files altogether.

But no longer.  The web is the new security battleground, with threats like spyware, botnets, and phishing attacks making the web their primary infection vector.

Second-generation web security appliances, like Mi5’s, are allowing customers to meet all their web security needs on a single platform, without having to string together a bunch of point solutions, or affecting their employees’ web browsing performance.

Mi5 combines a high-performance web security platform, with multi-vendor URL filtering, anti-virus, and anti-spyware databases, and our own exclusive technologies to provide the fastest and most comprehensive web security platform available today.

Mi5 appliances offer a number of unique capabilities and industry “firsts”:

• Highest Throughput: process up to 1Gbps of traffic and 30,000 employees on a single appliance
• Zero Latency: can block from port span/tap mode (and no more than 2 msec/packet latency if running as an inline transparent bridge)
• Widest Coverage: scan all ports and protocols, not just HTTP/Port 80
• Deepest Protection: multi-layered, multi-vendor inspection, including URL filtering, and deep inspection of all active content and files, intranet traffic, and phone home traffic
• Most Useful Reporting: not only identifies what has been blocked and who is infected, but prioritizes infections by severity so you can spend time on what’s important
• Automated Desktop Cleanup:  allows you to dispatch a lightweight cleanup agent, SpyWash, automatically from the gateway, without requiring hands-on IT involvement
• Most Flexible Deployment Options:  monitor or block from either a port span/tap or inline (as a transparent bridge with fail over hardware)
• Most Flexible Licensing Options: only pay for and report on the modules you need
