Protect User PCs from Malware Infections with Cisco Cloud Web Security


As technology becomes more sophisticated, so do hackers. Their attacks and malicious threats can easily disguise themselves, hiding in plain sight in pop-ups, legitimate websites, and well-written spam email. Guests and employees can easily put your organization’s network and security at risk by clicking the bad stuff. In most cases, they will not even know that they did something risky until it is too late. To prevent issues from damaging your reputation, consider applying Cisco security solutions to all PCs and mobile devices being used in your business.

Cisco Cloud Web Security is one of the solutions you should implement to automatically block risky sites. It will test unknown sites to determine their risk before allowing anyone to link to them. This way, the solution helps with compliance and provides reliable protection before, after, and during attacks with automated analysis and monitoring across the whole network. In case a compromise occurs, the system quickly determines the extent of the damage, deliver the remedy, and restore operations.

It does not matter how complex or simple your network is, or how many PCs you have in your workplace. Cisco security solutions are flexible and can be deployed on your preferred appliance (i.e. a virtual machine) or on a branch router, and you do not have to worry about extra charges. That is because you are getting an open security solution that can be scaled as your business continues to grow. This way, branch offices can also experience the same protection as your main office.

Cisco Cloud web security automatically analyzes inbound and outbound web traffic in real-time to find new and known malware. Behavior-based and reputation analysis is dynamic on all kinds of web content. Suspicious activity can also be scanned to determine abnormal behaviors. Advanced Malware for Web Security has retrospective capabilities to determine zero-day attacks and eliminate the malware in the infected PCs and devices.
