Proactive Web Threat Protection

Up to 85 percent of malware is now distributed via the Web. With more than half of all companies reporting a malware infection within the past 12 months, a proactive Web security solution is a business necessity. Webroot Web Security SaaS scans all Web traffic for virus, spyware and phishing attacks in the cloud – a proactive approach that eliminates Web-based threats before they reach your network gateway.

Powerful Anti-Virus Protection

Get guaranteed protection against 100 percent of known virus threats with best-of-breed anti-virus protection. A zero-hour heuristic filter secures against new and unknown virus variants.

Industry-Leading Anti-Spyware, Webroot Spy Sweeper®

Prevent spyware infections with the industry’s leading spyware protection. Webroot Spy Sweeper protects more than ten million desktops worldwide. Our automated threat research system, Phileas, scours the Web and discovers spyware faster and more efficiently than any other spyware research method – with a substantially reduced number of false positives. Sites containing malware are automatically blocked through our URL filtering engine to ensure additional protection for end users.

Real-time Phishing Site Detection

Protect sensitive corporate data and personal information. Advanced heuristics provide complete, real-time protection against even the newest phishing sites without the need for traditional signature or URL list-based detection techniques.

Internet Access Control

Keep your organization safe from the risks of open Internet access with our best-of-breed URL filtering engine. Millions of URLs are automatically categorized into 12 main categories and 96 subcategories. This database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control over company Internet use.

Data Loss Protection

Block Web 2.0 applications such as social media sites, Web mail applications and instant messaging sites to help prevent data loss, improve bandwidth and reduce costs. Web content can be blocked according to file type and Web application. You can also apply file type restrictions to block the receipt of unwanted or large Web files at the Internet layer.

Customized Access Control

Internet access policies can be applied to individual users or groups and enforced based on site category, time and user location. You can customize “Blocked” and “Coached” access pages to help inform and manage company Internet use policies. For even greater filtering control, create customized URL allow and deny lists.

Proactive Safe Searching Capabilities

Webroot applies color-coded tags to search engine results to proactively notify users of company Internet use policy. Green, yellow and red labels indicate whether a site can be accessed, is blocked or potentially contains malware. Color-coding of results can be set based on group or individual user policy. Inappropriate thumbnail images are also blocked from search engine results, thereby protecting users from exposure to inappropriate content.

Proxy Bypass Detection

With proxy bypass detection, Webroot enforces company Internet use policies even when users attempt to access blocked pages through common or custom proxy bypass sites.

Manage Internal Security and Use Policies

Manage organizational Internet use and security policies with a powerful, customizable rules engine that facilitates the creation of user, group and account level policies. Create and monitor Internet use policy based on:

• Inbound and outbound HTTP, HTTPS and FTP over HTTP traffic
• Website category, time of day, and user location
• Bandwidth consumption and time spent online
• Allowed, blocked or coached website access
• Web application blocking
• Inbound and outbound file type, file size and attachment blocking

Get Real-Time Visibility

A Web-based management portal provides real-time visibility into company Internet use with:

•  Intuitive management dashboard with real-time Web traffic summary reports
• Reporting interface to create, save and schedule graphical management reports that track Internet use by user, group or account.
• Access to log file data displaying real-time statistics on company web traffic and web activities.
• Ability to download or send log files as a CSV file to facilitate further analysis.

Create Timely, Accurate Reports

Web traffic log data is updated in real-time to ensure fast and accurate reporting. Summary management dashboard reports are automatically updated to provide up-to-the-minute visibility into company Internet traffic. Log data is compiled across all domains within the system on an hourly basis, then optimized and stored for detailed report generation.

Management reports can be run ad-hoc or scheduled, allowing organizations to accurately monitor Internet use by user or group, with various graphs representing web traffic trends, top blocked URLs, blocked malware, bandwidth use and more.

Import Users with LDAP Integration

Use LDAP to retrieve data from existing company directories and populate group- and user-level settings. Webroot Web Security SaaS will query the LDAP server, retrieve relevant attributes and populate data into group memberships. The configurable LDAP filter allows directory tree queries regardless of the company directory schema.

Support for Citrix and Terminal Services

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

Protect Mobile Users Seamlessly

Enforce 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 organization’s network.

In-the-cloud Authentication

Because the Webroot service sits in-the-cloud, laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network, saving company bandwidth and network resources. The Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) automatically updates to the latest version, allowing for seamless authentication for mobile and on-site users alike. This mobile user protection is an integrated part of the service and does not require any additional hardware or server-based software.
