INTERNET GATEWAYS - THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Organizations today provide shared Internet access to most employees, so Web-based proxy
services can help to manage bandwidth utilization and consolidate traffic by caching the data
locally. Web access for both personal and business related information greatly increases the
amount of Internet traffic and in turn, exposure to threats. Therefore, company’s deploying
Internet Gateway solutions such as Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server
can see considerable gains in faster internet response times and basic firewall functionality
that provides a first line of defense.
THE NEED FOR PROTECTING INTERNET ACCESS GATEWAYS
While company’s deploying Internet Access Gateways do benefit from the additional firewall
security, the protection they provide is limited because of static firewall rules and the lack
of visibility into the packets that pass through the gateway. Therefore, protection against
malicious code entering a company’s network through unmonitored applications or due to
the lack of content inspection can result in enormous amount of wasted time, money and IT
resources when an infection strikes.
Web-based services may pose a security threats, including:
· Websites or downloaded files that are infected by malicious code
· Downloading infected email attachments from online mail services
· Downloading or uploading infected files by using FTP service
· Via an infection propagated through a mapped network drive
Gateways provide a central choke-point for Internet-based content and help an organization
implement both inbound and outbound policy requirements for users within the network.
In order to optimize the security and increase the survivability of an ISA server deployment
– without impacting the performance and response times to business critical operations –
additional solutions are needed to ensure your operational efficiency.
SECURING INTERNET GATEWAYS WITH BITDEFENDER
BitDefender Security for ISA Servers allows organizations to protect their Microsoft® ISA
Servers to block specific types of websites, scan downloaded files and email attachments
from web email services. Ensuring compliance to corporate security policies becomes easier
and companies will be able to maintain control of sensitive data that would otherwise leak
from inside of the organization.
