The ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or
STM600, hereafter referred to as the STM, is an appliance-based, Web and email security
solution that protects the network perimeter against Web-borne threats from spyware,
viruses, email, and blended threats. Ideally deployed at the gateway, it serves as the
network’s first line of defense against all types of threats, and complements firewalls,
intrusion detection systems (IDS)/intrusion prevention systems (IPS), dedicated Intranet
security products, and endpoint antivirus and antispyware software.

Powered by patent-pending Stream Scanning technology and backed by one of the most
comprehensive malware databases in the industry, the STM can detect and stop all known
spyware and viruses at the gateway, preventing them from reaching your desktops and
servers, where cleanup would be much more difficult.

In addition to scanning HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP traffic, the STM protects
networks against spam phishing attacks and unwanted Web use. The STM is a
plug-and-play device that can be installed and configured within minutes.
