Blue coat increased investment in webpulse cloud security services

May 19, 2009, Beijing--Blue Coat systems, an application delivery technology leader, announced today that it has established a new data center for Blue coat®webpulse™ Cloud security services in Hong Kong to enhance user performance in the region. The move will also provide more robust application visibility and protection for more than 54 million users worldwide. As new data centers are established, users of Blue Coat Webfilter, Proxycliend, and K9 Web homeowner will automatically benefit from richer distributed global networks, including eight data and content rating centers. Blue Coat webpulse Cloud Security Service uses dynamic link analysis to identify and evaluate Web2.0 threats that propagate malicious content through dynamic linking. This service obtains real-time intelligence from a wide, ever-changing and growing group of users, including new sites, URLs, dynamic Web2.0 content, and links. The Webpulse Cloud Security Service uses multiple in-depth analysis techniques to conduct extensive threat assessments of these links, identifying malware, phishing, and other malicious or inappropriate content. The Webpulse Cloud Security Service ensures the immediate availability of all users in the enterprise without downloading or other update steps. "To ensure that you can proactively defend against malware from the Internet, companies must reconsider how to protect their gateways," said Pan Daoliang, executive director of Greater China, Blue coat systems. Blue Coat's Webpulse Cloud Security Service provides an enterprise with a URL filtering solution for the Web2.0 world through real-time input, cloud-based content analysis, and instant protection. The Blue Coat webpulse Cloud Security Service is the first cloud based group monitoring environment that enables dynamic link analysis and receives and processes more than 1 billion requests per week from more than 54 million users worldwide. When a user encounters a new dynamic site and user-generated content, the service builds a comprehensive web overview. The constant changes in these sites and content make it easier for cyber-criminals to spread malicious software, phishing sites and other malicious content. Today, database-oriented traditional URL filtering has not been able to keep pace with the threat. With dynamic link analysis, the second generation URL filtering provided by Blue Coat webpulse Cloud Security Service can dynamically evaluate new threat content and ensure active defense. Blue Coat Webfilter Users can implement automatic protection with Webpulse cloud security services and provide services to remote and mobile offices by Proxyclient software, which can be deployed through PROXYSG one-click Selection. The built-in features of the K9 Web homeowner also provide protection to individuals and home users based on Webpulse cloud security services.
