Sydney, Australia – May 25, 2010 – M86 Security, the global expert in real-time Web and email threat protection, has received a Highly Commended award for the SC Magazine Product of the Year category at AusCERT 2010 for its Secure Web Gateway product.
“We are delighted to achieve Highly Commended for SC Magazine Product of the Year at AusCERT. It is a great achievement and speaks to the effectiveness of the product to be recognised so soon after its release into the market,” said Jeremy Hulse, Vice President APAC, M86 Security.
“Employees are now more dependent on the Web for research, information or collaboration with suppliers and customers. M86 Security Labs discovered that legitimate Web sites now comprise the majority of infected sites. Our Secure Web Gateway solution offers peace of mind, protecting organisations against malware and crimeware in real time without hindering staff access to the internet. This enables the workforce the freedom to do what they need to as part of their job,” Mr. Hulse continued.
The M86 Secure Web Gateway is a proactive, appliance-based solution that provides real-time Web security, increases productivity, ensures compliance and controls bandwidth. Using patented real-time malware detection technology, URL filtering and anti-virus scanning, the solution protects organisations from the threats associated with Web 2.0 applications.
The key differentiator of the M86 Secure Web Gateway product is its patented real-time code analysis engine which scans each and every piece of incoming and outgoing Web content, including HTTP/HTTPS information. The intent of the code is analyzed for criminal or dubious action in real time regardless of its originating URL and without signature matching. This enables it to detect and block crimeware, targeted attacks and other malicious web content even when the malware is hidden in SSL traffic.
In addition, the Dynamic Web Repair feature enables users safe and unhindered access to the internet. Malicious scripts on an HTML page are seamlessly removed and the safe Web content are repaired and delivered to users without having to block the entire Web page; ensuring continued worker productivity.
M86’s Secure Web Gateway has already received a number of international industry accolades and 5-star ratings. The company has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of the research firm’s report on Secure Web Gateway (SWG). i
