Cisco Web Security:  
Protection, Control, and Value
The World Wide Web is a wonderful thing. It’s also insecure. 
But how do you protect your devices and resources while also 
using social media and web applications? 
We believe that one solution isn’t enough. You need a variety of protections against today’s fast-
evolving cyberthreats. But that introduces complexity and bigger operational workloads to your 
IT environment, right? Not with the Cisco® Web Security Appliance (WSA) (see Figure 1). Cisco 
WSA is an all-in-one highly secure web gateway that brings you strong protection, complete 
control, and investment value. It also offers an array of competitive web security deployment 
options, each of which includes Cisco’s market-leading global threat intelligence infrastructure.

Strong Protection
Advanced Threat Defense
Cisco Web Security is powered by Cisco Talos Security Intelligence and Research Group, 
the industry’s largest collection of real-time threat intelligence, with the broadest visibility 
and largest footprint. Talos discovers where threats are hiding by pulling massive amounts of 
global information across multiple attack vectors (see Figure 2). This information gathering 
encompasses:
•  100 TB of security intelligence daily
•  1.6 million deployed security devices, including firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), 
web, and email appliances
•  150 million endpoints
•  13 billion web requests per day
•  Hundreds of applications and 150,000 microapplications
•  35 percent of the world’s enterprise email traffic
Talos delivers early-warning intelligence, threat and vulnerability analysis to help protect 
organizations against zero-day advanced threats. It continually generates new rules that feed 
updates every three to five minutes so that Cisco Web Security can deliver industry-leading 
threat defense hours and even days ahead of competitors.
