 Data Sheet

Enterprise-strength Spam, Virus, and Web Filter Security

The ProSecure STM series of Web and email security appliances combine best-of-breed security 

technologies and patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology to protect businesses against 

today’s Web and email threats. Viruses and spyware hosted on Web pages, email phishing 

attacks, spam, malware infected emails, and other threats are now all part of a regular 

repertoire of sophisticated blended attacks that businesses now face.
While other solutions significantly dilute the efficacy of their offering by either utilizing open 

source or cutting essential features and services from their enterprise products to cut costs, 

ProSecure has partnered with industry-leading Kaspersky Lab and Commtouch

®

 to bring  

best-of-breed enterprise-strength Web and email security technologies to the STM platform. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

Web and Email Security - Redefined

ProSecure STM Appliances combine performance with comprehensive security coverage. 

Patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology enables the use of an extensive virus and malware 

database while maintaining a high level of throughput and minimizing  

scanning-induced latency. The flexible modular software design architecture leverages  

patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology to scan files and data streams up to 5x faster  

than conventional methods.
The ProSecure STM employs millions of signatures to protect against known malware threats, 

and advanced behavioral zero-hour protection technology to proactively discover and block any 

suspected threats that have not yet been identified. The ProSecure STM utilizes a hybrid  

in-the-cloud Distributed Spam/Web Analysis architecture that shields networks from spam, 

phishing attacks, malicious Web sites, unwanted content, and other Web and email-borne 

threats. The STM’s application control feature allows businesses to enforce company network 

usage policies and preserve productivity by blocking access to public instant messaging and 

peer-to-peer applications.
With ProSecure STM, subscriptions are simple with no per-user licensing. ProSecure Web and 

Email subscriptions each contain comprehensive protection for an unlimited number of users.

 

 

 

 

 

    Revolutionary Stream Scanning Platform  

Given the high performance requirements of scanning latency sensitive Web traffic, incorporating 

enterprise-grade security software technologies into traditional content security platforms has 

been a very difficult task. That is why the ProSecure STM features patent-pending Stream Scanning 

Technology which analyzes data streams as they enter the network. The ProSecure Stream 

Scanning approach is many times faster than that of traditional batch-based scanning methods in 

which the entire file is buffered before it is scanned.
Because of its nature, traditional batch-based scanning methods introduce latency to network 

traffic. While latency is more tolerable for email traffic, for large amounts of HTTP Web traffic,
