Blue Coat SG510 Web Proxy Appliances

The use of the Internet as a medium for conducting business and enhancing productivity continues to evolve. Companies are aggressively migrating traditional applications that previously used proprietary protocols, so they can be accessible via the Internet using Web browsers. The threats associated with the use of the Internet are also evolving. Gone are the days when a company could deploy a firewall and feel safe.

The holes left open on the firewall for legitimate Web applications are the same holes that rogue applications, hackers, and developers of malicious content exploit. These threats create a new set of problems for security conscience administrators. Today's Web enabled networks and applications require a new class of security infrastructure.

Introducing the BlueCoat SG510 Series appliances, the first Port 80 Security Appliance designed to protect against emerging Web-based threats by policing the primary hole in the enterprise security infrastructure - port 80. Optimized for content-level security, the SG510 Series provides powerful protection against web viruses, malicious code, and inappropriate web content - without compromising performance. Blue Coat's patent pending Policy Processing Engine, combined with the SG series Web Knowledge Framework gives organizations the power needed to respond to the new and emerging issues surrounding Web traffic and applications. Acting in concert with existing routers, firewalls and servers, Blue Coat's SG Series Web Security Appliances reduce the complexity, management and processing overhead needed for comprehensive web content security.
