Secure Computing and Cymtec Partner to Reinforce Internet Security
Posted on: Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 15:00 CST
Secure Computing, an enterprise gateway security provider, and Cymtec Systems, a provider of network security and performance management solutions, has announced the integration of Secure Computing's SmartFilter web filtering solution with the Cymtec Sentry Data Threat Protection engine.
The two security vendors have joined forces to improve network security and performance management for remote and branch office (RBO) environments. With the constantly evolving Web 2.0 environment, RBOs are faced with increasingly dynamic and sophisticated threats. Web content changes daily, with millions of people posting content to Web sites. Typically, organizations concentrate their security efforts on the core of the network - leaving remote and branch offices vulnerable to attack.
Cymtec Sentry, combined with Secure Computing's SmartFilter Internet Filter Database, adds another level of security to solutions such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and anti-virus software. This new class of unified remote and branch office protection provides a simple, cost-effective method for stopping the uncontrolled spread of infections that get past perimeter and host defenses.
Cymtec Sentry's unique DTP engine combines best-of-breed engines - Cymtec Sentry and Secure Computing's SmartFilter -- to create a single, powerful engine that scans all traffic going through a Cymtec Sentry appliance to detect and block malicious network traffic. SmartFilter enables organizations to understand and monitor internet use while taking effective steps to provide appropriate control over outbound Web access. It keeps the workplace free from offensive content, limits legal liability, manages bandwidth, and protects against security risks like spyware and malware.
