Webroot^® Web Security Service
Overview

No Hardware. No Software. No Malware.

Today’s criminals generate over 40,000 malware samples a day. Webroot® Web Security Service provides better protection by blocking threats before they reach your network. You can easily protect mobile users, enforce Internet use policies, track web trends, and detect software vulnerabilities - a unique feature not offered by any other software as a service solution. And with no hardware or software to manage, your IT team saves time and money.

Service Management

Simplified Administration

Real-Time Logging and Reporting

View reports on top blocked users, blocked malware, bandwidth usage, and more.

Support for Citrix and Terminal Services

Webroot is the only Web Security Service that provides support for Citrix and Terminal Services. This convenient feature further enhances usability and management. All Citrix or Terminal Services users are individually authenticated. Unique policies can be applied to separate users on a single Citrix or Terminal Services server with user activity logged individually.

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. Webroot also guarantees 99.99% service availability to ensure that customers have consistent, reliable access to a secure web communications environment.

Antivirus, Antispyware and Antiphishing

Threat Protection

Webroot Web Security Service scans all HTTP and FTP over HTTP requests for malware in the cloud, blocking threats before they ever reach a company’s network. Best-of-breed antivirus protection guarantees defense against 100% of known virus threats, and multiple zero-hour heuristic filters protect against new and unknown virus variants. Antispyware protection is powered by the industry’s leading antispyware engine, Webroot Spy Sweeper, which protects over 10 million desktops worldwide. Antiphishing detection uses advanced heuristics to identify phishing sites in real-time, ensuring sensitive personal and corporate data remains secure. For complete security, downloaded JavaScript and shellcode is inspected for malicious content/actions in real-time, preventing end-users from becoming infected.

NEW! Vulnerability Scanning and Spyware Detection

Reduce risk by identifying holes in your security before attackers do. Exclusively offered by Webroot Web Security Service, this powerful feature eliminates the need to purchase and manage a separate vulnerability scanner. You can scan endpoints directly from Webroot’s Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) to identify known system vulnerabilities including operating systems, browser versions, and other installed software, as well as spyware infections.

Proactive Safe Searching Capabilities

Fast Browsing with Minimal Latency

Maintain a fast browsing experience and ensure a seamless Internet experience for your users. Webroot’s distributed architecture minimizes latency by maintaining multi-tenant, fully redundant datacenters around the globe. Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) automatically routes Web traffic through the nearest datacenter, ensuring rapid response time. Unique Web content download acceleration and proprietary high-performance proxies further improve performance and ensure immediate policy compliance.

Internet Policy Enforcement

URL and Web Content Filtering

Web content filtering enables companies to enforce Internet use policies, mitigate data loss, protect users from inappropriate content and improve productivity. Webroot filters Web content based on site URL, Web application, attachment type, MIME type, file type and file size. Millions of URLs are categorized into 12 main categories and 96 subcategories. This database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control. Content filtering also includes the ability to block advertisements.

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 Web site access to be “Allowed,” “Blocked” or “Coached” in order to help inform users and manage Internet use. For even greater filtering control, Webroot provides the ability to create customized URL “Allow” and “Deny” lists. Anonymizing proxy detection enforces company Internet use policies even when users attempt to access blocked pages through common or custom anonymizing proxy sites.

Quota Policy Support

Administrators can easily support and enforce Internet use policies by placing limits on bandwidth consumption, time spent online and number of sites accessed. To help monitor and track Internet use, logs and reports are available to track factors such as daily bandwidth consumed by user and time spent surfing.

Roaming User Protection

As an integrated component of the service, Webroot Web Security Service 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 can be easily configured to receive automatic and uninterrupted protection even while they are outside their organization’s network. Because the Webroot service sits in the cloud, these laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network. This roaming user protection helps to improve employee productivity, enhance network security and reduce costs.
