Inventas Web Security SaaS

Inventas Web Security SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) provides proactive Web security that blocks threats in the cloud before they ever reach your network.

With no hardware or software to manage, a lower total cost of ownership and better protection against viruses, spyware, phishing attacks and inappropriate online usage, this comprehensive solution can replace or enhance a company‟s existing security infrastructure.

Because software as a service is highly flexible, companies are able to scale services based on their unique needs, thereby helping to manage company growth. Inventas Web Security SaaS also extends seamless protection to mobile users, providing increased productivity as well as better overall security.

Features

Web Threat Protection

Inventas Web Security SaaS solution scans all HTTP and FTP over HTTP requests for viruses in the cloud, blocking threats before they ever reach an organisation‟s network. Best-of-breed antivirus protection guarantees defence against 100% of known virus threats, and a zero-hour heuristic filter protects against new and unknown virus variants.

Antispyware protection is powered by the industry‟s leading antispyware engine, Inventas Spy Sweeper, which protects over 10 million desktops worldwide. Anti-phishing detection is provided using advanced heuristics to identify phishing sites in real-time, ensuring sensitive personal and corporate data remains secure.

URL and Web Content Filtering

Web content filtering enables the ability to enforce company Internet use policies, mitigate data loss, protect users from
inappropriate content and improve productivity. Inventas filters web content based on website URL, web application,
attachment type and file size. Millions of URLs are categorised into 12 main categories and 96 subcategories. This
database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control.

Internet Access Control

Internet access policies can be set according to group or individual user level and applied by time and location.
Administrators can also set website access to be "Allowed," "Blocked" or "Coached" in order to help inform users and
manage Internet use. For even greater filtering control, Inventas provides the ability to create customised URL allow and
deny lists.

Enhanced Policy Enforcement

With anonymizer and proxy bypass detection, Internet usage policies will be enforced despite user attempts to access a previously blocked page through common or custom "Anonymizer‟ sites. Inventas also provides a unique "Scan Ahead‟ technology that examines all search engine queries and returns colour-coded search page results based on the requestor‟s Internet access policy. This feature not only helps enforce Internet use policy, but it also proactively mitigates Internet threats and harmful content.

Intuitive Management Console

Manage company Internet use and security policies via an intuitive web-based management console. Administrators can securely access Inventas' powerful rules engine to facilitate user, group and account level access policies. A real-time web traffic summary dashboard displays company website access by category and popular search terms.

Real-Time Logging and Reporting

Real-time logs display which sites and downloads users have attempted to access and whether or not they were allowed. Detailed reports can be run ad-hoc or scheduled, allowing companies to accurately monitor Internet use by viewing graphs on web traffic trends, top blocked URLs, blocked malware, bandwidth use and more. Scheduled reports can contain up to 100 separate charts for maximum visibility into company and user Internet use.

Roaming User Protection

Inventas Web Security SaaS provides seamless enforcement of company Internet use policies regardless of where an employee is working – whether it‟s at home, the airport, a hotel or an Internet café. Mobile laptop users receive automatic and uninterrupted protection even while they are outside their organisation‟s network. Because the Inventas service sits in-the-cloud, laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network. This roaming user protection improves employee productivity and enhances network security.

Fast Deployment and Guaranteed Service Availability

Customer deployment can typically be complete in less than one week and there are no costly hardware, software, or equipment maintenance fees. Inventas also guarantees 99.99% service availability to ensure that customers have consistent, reliable access to a secure web communications environment.
