Sophos WS1000

The Sophos WS1000 looks at web content management in three segments. The first is through a URL/reputation filter that includes a database of 54 categories covering four billion pages in 200 languages. This is supplemented by a database of sites currently hosting malware. The second is a real-time malware scanner that blocks all malware, adware and unwanted applications in real-time. The third is content control, which provides real-time content-analysis sorts and controls access to 32 unique content types. Organisations specify appropriate browsing by content type, such as streaming media, executables and MS Office files.
