■

     Advanced malware prevention scans web traffi  c for malicious content to prevent the infection and 

proliferation of web-based threats.

■

   Zero hour threat response closes the window of vulnerability between when an attack launches and when 

scanning fi lter updates are developed and distributed, extending the protection of XCS from new threats 
delivered via web channels. 

■

   

Attachment controls block harmful fi le types from entering your network via web-based traffi  c and applications. 

■

   

URL fi ltering analyzes and blocks access to websites based on pre-defi ned policies, using content control 
to block sites for reduced risks and legal liabilities. 

■

   

Global coverage and protection are provided by an extensive Internet threat database containing more 
than 21 million global sites and more than 3.8 billion web pages, with support for over 70 languages. 

■

   

More than 100,000 new sites added weekly to keep pace with the extensive growth of the Internet.

■

    

Dynamic inspection provides content fi ltering of uncategorized sites to bridge the security gap from 
where URL fi ltering capabilities end, providing an extensive web risk management boundary.

■

    

Real-time content inspection determines the risk level of each and every web page, providing fl exibility 
to block an individual page or parts of a web page, instead of blocking an entire site. 

■

   

Web-based data leakage protection prevents sensitive information from leaving your organization via 

web applications and communication protocols, including blogs, popmail (Hotmail, gmail, etc) and wikis.  

■

   

Employs multi-layered approach, inspecting content of all web downloads and uploads with the capability 
to scan fi les that have been compressed. Contextual analysis determines the sender of the information, who 
it is being sent to, and what is being sent to determine whether or not it is a policy violation. 

■

   

Web caching provides temporary web storage of web objects, enabling faster retrieval of websites.  

■

   

Large-fi le download support provides enhanced HTTP scanning in either rapid or full scanning modes, resulting 

in faster downloads, a better end user experience, and reduced browser timeouts, while maintaining security 

and policy enforcement.  

■

   

 Streaming media traffi  c management controls uploads and downloads by size limits, and lets you block or 

bypass streaming media content and other bandwidth hogs based on pre-defi ned policies.

■

   

Traffi  c management and clustering provides web security with redundancy and high availability for increased 
performance and reduced costs. 

■

   

Acceptable use controls let you defi ne policies by user, group, or domain; and allows you to designate  
websites suitable for Internet browsing during offi  ce hours, off -hours, or not at all, ensuring compliance 
to corporate web usage policies.

■

   

Web application controls allow you to selectively permit or forbid use of web-based applications by 
individuals or groups, protecting your organization from non-productive applications and the malware 
they carry. This includes online chat rooms, popmail , gaming sites, wikis, blogs, and more.  

With the simple addition of an XCS 
Web Security subscription, it’s possible 
to extend the powerful protection and 
data loss prevention capabilities of your 
XCS email security appliance to all of 
your web traffi  c as well. 

The XCS Web Security subscription 
protects your network from inbound 
web-based threats and prevents 
data leakage through outbound web 
communications. Unifying your email 
and web security allows you to rigorously 
enforce acceptable use policies across 
multiple protocols and reduces total 
cost of ownership with a single point 
of administration.
