Spyware Protection


Spyware has quickly evolved to become one of the most significant corporate security issues. More than 80 percent of corporate PCs are infected with spyware, yet less than 10 percent of corporations have deployed perimeter spyware defenses.

Mi5 provides the most comprehensive gateway spyware protection available today, not only preventing spyware from getting inside your network, but also preventing infected PCs from “phoning-home” sensitive data.  Mi5 combines multiple signature databases and heuristics to provide complete protection.  Mi5 is the only solution provider that can accurately identify infected PCs, and automatically dispatch a cleanup agent for pinpoint spyware removal.


Award-Winning Protection

Mi5 combines Sunbelt Software’s market leading anti-spyware technology with Mi5-developed signatures and heuristics.  Mi5 can:

  • Inspect URLs and block spyware sites
  • Inspect active content (e.g. ActiveX, Java), and selectively block those elements from web pages
  • Inspect file downloads, and put a block page in front of a user if the file contains spyware
  • Inspect all phone-home traffic and block transmissions, regardless of what port or protocol are used by port-agile spyware
  • Accurately report which computers are infected and prioritize cleanup
  • Automatically clean infected PCs through the optional SpyWash module


Accurate User Identification

In addition to supporting reverse DNS and NETBIOS lookup, Mi5 provides full, real-time integration with LDAP, Active Directory and Domain Controller servers, so you know exactly who was protected and who is infected.  No longer do you have to do reverse lookups from stale IP addresses or just guess that the user logged into a PC was the same as the PC owner.


Rich, Built-In Reporting

Mi5’s built-in reporting system comes with dozens of pre-packaged reports and comprehensive custom report and alert functionality.  Easily see what viruses have been blocked, and where the most popular sources of infection are.  Alerts can be set up for events, and any report can be delivered on a schedule you define.

Advanced Policy Creation

Mi5’s Spyware Protection module supports extremely granular policies by user, group, category, name or IP range.   You can select what to block, what to monitor, and what to ignore, and override any default rules, so you can tailor the solution to your exact needs.
