Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway
Defining Business Security

Balancing the requirement for strong network security with the need to harness collaborative web technologies is essential for business growth. The Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway is a trusted internet security solution for your web gateway that does just that.

The Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway’s policy-based content-filtering engine allows your organisation to both exploit and benefit from modern web technologies and services, while ensuring that the company network remains fully protected against incoming threats and data leakage. With the Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway deployed, the web is transformed from a high-risk environment to a place of free and safe collaboration and communication.

Business-enhancing online technologies, like webmail, social-media websites and collaborative services, can therefore be enabled with confidence.

Flexible policy development and management
The Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway includes template policies so that it is ready to perform immediately. The easy-to-use policy centre affords user-level control over access to web content and services, allowing for development of flexible acceptable-use policies. Centralised controls automatically propagate policies across multiple Clearswift SECURE gateways, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Time schedules can be applied to specific websites or categories, allowing users managed access to particular content types. Individual users can be allocated time quotas for maximum policy flexibility. Acceptable-use intercept pages can be displayed to remind users that web activities are monitored and subject to policy.

Reliable web content filtering and inspection
Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway policies are built on Clearswift MIMEsweeper, a tried and trusted content-inspection and filtering technology.

This inspects traffic in real time, checking content against policies. Inappropriate and policy-contravening content is blocked. Customisable block messages can include override options for users, providing both protection for your organisation and freedom for employees to continue conducting essential business.

As well, the Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway performs detection of common business terms, such as payment card industry (PCI) phrases and number patterns, personally identifiable information (PII) and compliance terms. Detection is fully customisable and is supported by automatically updated managed lists and editable compliance dictionaries, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Securities and Equities Commission (SEC) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).

This multi-tiered detection capability prevents data leaks and mitigates regulatory and reputational risks.

Trustworthy anti-malware technology With bi-directional malware scanning built in, Clearswift SECURE Web Gateways keep your organisation’s network free of malware. The anti-malware engine detects and stops both known and new threats. This ability extends to viruses, spyware, keyloggers and botnet call-homes. Access to suspect websites can also be managed by URL filtering and category-level controls.

Powerful reporting and management
The Clearswift SECURE Web Gateway comes with advanced management and reporting facilities, controlled via a simple web-based interface.

Hundreds of ready-made report templates are included, which can be easily modified. Reports are interactive, meaning it is possible to drill down on the fly, saving time on money on the production of wasted reports.
