Web-based (HTTP or HTTPS) enterprise
traffic ranges from essential applications and related
information to recreational Web content, which can open the door for
malware, bandwidth-hogging personal applications, and loss of
confidential information.
To provide their users with a safe and productive Web environment,
enterprises require a Web security infrastructure that will allow the
good while stopping the bad, both into and out of the organization -
regardless of where their users and applications are located.
As the leading provider of secure content and application delivery
products (IDC 2006), Blue Coat provides a robust and flexible way to
control users and protect against Web-based threats - while actually
improving Web performance (see WAN Optimization). Blue Coat products
are deployed at Internet access points across the distributed
enterprise, providing an effective solution to control security for all
Web applications and content - including encrypted SSL content.
