The HTTPS security
loophole
Should pornography
and personal Web surfing be permitted as long as it is done over
an encrypted connection? Does it make sense to leave an entire
protocol unprotected against virus attacks?
Most companies don't
think so, but when they allow unmanaged HTTPS connections they
are doing exactly that. That is because all encrypted content -
viruses, MP3s, pornography and confidential company files
included - is beyond the reach of any antivirus scanner and
content filter.
Filling the hole
in your armour
Webwasher SSL Scanner enables enterprises to apply their
existing security and Internet usage policies to ALL key Web
protocols:
Encrypted content
accessed by a standard Web browser can be managed in exactly the
same way as HTTP content, making it possible to prevent policy
evasion through use of Web mail services, while also scanning
all Web traffic for today's most dangerous Web-based worms and
trojans.
