Hardware & Software Security
Overview

The size and growth of the Internet has created security challenges for users accessing the web. Anybody can be exposed to malware, viruses, Trojans, and other malicious sources that emerge rapidly and silently across the Internet. Web filtering and malware scanning are necessary components in any hardware or software organization's broader security solution and protect against these emerging threats. In addition, web filtering improves Internet visibility and enables control over user web access.

Today's computer firewalls, whether hardware or software based, or implemented in next generation firewalls, UTMs, IPS, web proxy servers, web caching servers, reverse proxy servers, intelligent routers or wireless access points, can all benefit and provide additional value to their customers by implementing Webroot's best-of-breed cloud-based technology for web filtering and malware scanning. These technologies are backed by our Webroot Intelligence Network (WIN) which monitors the Internet around the clock for malicious activity and deploys a global sensor network to gather intelligence.

Solutions
Webroot offers the following service / solutions:
  • Content Classification Service protects hardware and software enterprises against Internet threats and web sites in key security categories. With improved Internet visibility, enterprises boost employee productivity, preserve IT resources, and help to reduce legal liability. Over 80 Categories provide granular control over web use and enable flexible policy reporting and implementation. It delivers comprehensive URL coverage and accuracy for web filtering solutions.
  • Web Reputation Service adds an additional security layer to the Content Classification Service by compiling selected features and characteristics of both hostnames and IP addresses and generating a reputation score between 1 and 100. Because the information is accessible through the cloud, not only is the information as up to date as possible for known web sites, but real time reputation scores can be calculated for unknown sites. This enables organizations to restrict access to known and low reputation sites, as well as to new sites with characteristics that could indicate a threat.
  • IP Reputation Service consolidates IP threats from the TOC and publishes a dynamic data set of high-risk IP addresses. It delivers updated threat data within minutes and protects against attacks from multiple threat sources. Armed with the latest intelligence and predictive risk analysis for IPs, It reveals inbound and outbound communication with malicious IPs and enables flexible policy reporting and implementation.
  • SecureAnywhere — A fast, lightweight, cloud-based endpoint security solution that can download quickly, coexist with other AV solution and scan an endpoint in minutes.
  • Security Intelligence - Malware Samples Feed — Increase the efficacy of your streaming AV scanning solution by including the latest (in the wild) malware samples together with additional information such as prevalence, frequency of occurrence, date first detected, date last seen.
Features & Benefits
  • Content Classification, Web Reputation and IP Reputation:
    Comprehensive coverage:
    Database includes classification and reputation data for over 280 million URLs in over 40 languages and reputation data for tens of millions of individual IP addresses. Extremely low uncategorized rates helps ensure customer satisfaction.
    Extreme accuracy:
    Continuous updating and analysis for content classification and reputation scoring using proprietary, automated machine learning technology backed by human training and quality assurance processes results in extremely low miscategorization rates. Data-driven probability heuristics account for historical as well as current data with dynamic continuous updating ensures that content and reputation data is kept current as threats materialize or subside across the Internet. Closed loop process for end users to submit miscats ensures rapid response and resolution.
    Flexible Deployment:
    Web filtering services can be accessed via cloud APIs or a high-performance SDK which supports both local (partial) or hybrid local/cloud deployment models. Webroot also has a DNS based web filtering solution for ISPs. This flexibility provides architects with the ability to optimize performance vs. cost.
    High Performance:
    Light-weight, high performance SDK for lightning fast lookups. Cloud services have an uptime record near 100% with minimal latency. Ensures that data is accessible without negative impact on application performance.
    Partner Support:
    Our experienced team of web and software experts provides partners with knowledgeable and responsive support through the full life cycle of their application.
  • SecureAnywhere cloud-based anti-malware/anti-virus:
    True cloud architecture:
    Innovative cloud-based approach leverages the power of centralized threat intelligence coupled with a light weight, high performance client to provide comprehensive, immediate protection from threats as they emerge. Effective protection against zero day threats and proven ability to find threats traditional security software often miss. Blocks malware, key loggers, phishing and other risks associated with accessing or providing sensitive information via online applications.
    High Performance:
    Light-weight client provides extremely fast scan times with minimal impact to system resources. Doesn't conflict with pre-existing security software. Provides the ability to rapidly download & install, scan and remediate threats as a pre-requisite to accessing sensitive online resources.
  • Security Intelligence - Malware Samples Feed:
    Security Intelligence:
    Detailed security intelligence gathered from our worldwide sensors which capture malware samples as soon as they are detected in the wild allow Webroot to provide these samples to our partners with additional intelligence data. This intelligence data include date first detected, # of machines infected, secondary AV product installed?, region, etc.
    Increased antimalware efficacy:
    By loading the most prevalent, most recent malware sample signatures not detected by other AV providers, the partner can increase the efficacy of their AV solution and gain a competitive advantage over other vendors.
