Hosted Web Proxy Solution

Our web filtering solution allows customers to securely control access to the web with granular control on a per user basis, it simple to setup and configure and takes only a few minutes per user. There is no hardware or software required on the customer premises. The solution blocks inappropriate content and stops malicious spyware and Trojans from entering your network. It also helps mitigate an employer's liability by taking adequate measures to protect staff members from appropriate content.

Web Content Filtering
With today's web consisting of tens of billions of pages, intelligent content analysis is the only reliable way to protect against the unexpected. Guardian's Dynamic Content Analysis technology examines not just the content but the context and construction of every web page requested. In this way, all undesirable material (including anonymous proxy sites) can be accurately detected and blocked. SSL (secure) proxy blocking: Blocks HTTPS proxies, UltraSurf and VTunnel, whilst allowing legitimate HTTPS traffic.

Employee Productivity
Chatting to friends? Booking a vacation? Browsing eBay?
Guardian ensures that employees use their time productively by controlling access to non work-related sites, such as news, sport, travel and auctions. Obviously many organisations allow their employees reasonable access to such sites, where Guardian's time-based policies can permit access to non work-related categories at break times and outside of core working hours.

Web Security and Anti-Virus
Protect against web-borne spyware, viruses and browser exploits.
Due to better email security, attackers are increasingly turning to the web as the most effective way of delivering malware. Hacking a blog or other poorly protected website to introduce JavaScript, Applets or ActiveX controls is a common technique. Every unprotected visitor to the site will be infected with their spyware, viruses or Trojans. Guardian is the solution - anti-virus scanning all downloads and blocking potentially malicious code except from a list of trusted sites.

User Authentication
Determine filtering policies and provide user level reporting.
Of Guardian's many user authentication systems, NTLM is the most popular because it transparently passes the users' Windows login information to Guardian. Subsequent interrogation of a Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, LDAP or RADIUS authentication system establishes the user identity, whereupon Guardian maps their group membership to the appropriate content filtering policies
