Blue Coat Unified Web Security cross-network protection

Unified Web Security is claimed to enable an organisation to expand its secure perimeter to users in any location, on any network, across any device, to close the security gaps that leave them exposed to malware threats and data loss.

The solution comprises three systems: Global Threat Defense, Universal Policy and Unified Reporting.

Global Threat Defense tracks more than 500 malware networks, which the company says allows it to identify new malicious components and provide a negative day defence that can block attacks, at source, before they launch.

Universal Policy provides the ability to create global policies that follow a user across all networks on all devices. Organisations can set security, acceptable use, compliance and productivity policies, depending on user situations and devices.

Unified Reporting delivers a single ‘pane of glass’ view into all web and user behaviour.
