Gone are the days of inconvenient maintenance and updating of various solutions to control your company's Internet traffic!

IT criminals utilise the weaknesses of an open and dynamic Internet to spread malware, which can appear anywhere and when you least expect it. Malware is now the greatest risk factor when browsing on websites and using messaging services.

SoftScan Web Security protects your company's web traffic so all users can access the Internet securely and  productively. No installation of software and hardware is required and no troublesome maintenance of updates to worry about. SoftScan does it all for you.

The SoftScan Web Security Service provides several advantages:

  • Total web security: The service scans both inbound and outbound web traffic, Instant Messaging traffic and  rule-based traffic. The entire content of websites are scanned including banners, scripts, Hotmail traffic, etc. and the user receives notification if the content is blocked.
  • Resource-saving: With an external, hosted solution, there is no need for a company to invest in the installation or operation of hardware and software, including updating antivirus software.
  • Scanning in real-time: All traffic is scanned for malware in real-time, without a noticeable delay to the user. Spyware and viruses are stopped at the Internet level before they can infiltrate your network and damage or infect an organisation's computers.
  • Pro-active scanning: The solution uses several leading virus scanners combined with heuristic scanning, which pro-actively captures as yet unknown malware. This means that the company is protected against all types of virus attacks - including those not yet discovered by traditional antivirus scanners. Remember - prevention is better than cure.
  • Supports an organisation's Internet policy: You can control web rules for users and groups by URL categories, types of content and time intervals. This also means that as a company, you can comply with your own or industry-regulated requirements for employee behaviour on the Internet.
  • Easy administration and reporting: The web-based administration module provides real-time reporting of blocked malware and control over web rules.
  • Guarantee: SoftScan's Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees a high quality solution; in terms of operation, support and functionality. With worldwide distributed data centres, extensive redundancy and innumerable high-speed network connections, a 99.999% uptime of the solution is guaranteed.
  • Free support: Contact our Support on weekdays between 8.30 a.m.-10 p.m.
