ScanSafe was included in the list as one of the ‘coolest cloud security products.

According to CRN, ScanSafe has been “turning heads in the industry for its ability to detect and block malicious and inappropriate websites in real time.”
ScanSafe’s suite of services includes Web Malware Scanning, Web Filtering and Anywhere+. These unique services deliver complete security and control over the Web by scanning traffic in real-time and blocking malware and unwanted content before it reaches the corporate network.
In addition, ScanSafe provides businesses with easy-to-use tools to create, enforce and monitor Web use and protect their networks from unwanted content. As a SaaS service, ScanSafe’s solutions require no hardware, no upfront capital costs and no maintenance. As a result, customers typically experience a 30 to 40 percent savings over hardware solutions.
All of ScanSafe’s solutions are powered by Outbreak Intelligence™, a unique, multi-layered combination of threat detection technology that includes leading third party anti-virus engines and proprietary heuristics. Unlike other solutions which rely on URL databases to identify malicious sites, ScanSafe scans all Web requests in real time, so customers receive comprehensive protection from all threats, including threats that appear before an anti-virus signature is available.
Winners were announced on the Channel Web website and are featured in the January 25 issue of CRN.
