Surf-SeCure inspects HTTP and FTP traffic and provides full protection against known and emerging Viruses, Worms and Trojan-horses.

FEATURES

Redundancy and High Availability
Archive-SeCure 3000R and 5000 hardware platforms provides full redundancy by applying dual power supplies and hard drives (RAID 1), thus enabling high availability in case of failure.

Multiple operation modes
Surf-SeCure can be easily implemented in any existing network topology, as a web proxy server or as a transparent bridge.

Integrated Load Balancing
There is no need to purchase third-party load-balancing devices. Surf-SeCure’s internal load-balancing feature enables the scaling of traffic between two or more Surf-SeCure appliances with several distribution methods, thus saving major IT costs.

URL Filtering
Surf-SeCure’s URL category database currently includes over 60 million URLs. Surf-SeCure’s URL category database is updated daily with thousands of new URLs and is also regularly cleaned of URLs no longer available on the Internet.

NTLM support
Surf-SeCure supports unified login using NTLM integration. Users are seamlessly authenticated to Surf-SeCure (upon logging in to their network’s affiliated domain), without the need for any prompt login window. As a result, user-based policy can be more easily enforced, without affecting the customer’s surfing experience. In addition, NTLM assists in achieving comprehensive user-based surf-logging.

Policy Enforcement
Surf-SeCure’s innovative Three-tier policy enforcement system enables administrators to define rules for users, groups or the entire organization. This flexibility enables the System Administrators to enforce the organization’s policy for Internet surfing and application control. Surf-SeCure enables user and group synchronization and authentication by smoothly interconnecting with any existing directory services using the LDAP protocol.

Application Layer Blocking
Many applications are now sophisticated enough to bypass traditional policy enforcement tools. Surf-SeCure is able to identify and block hundreds of applications such as P2P, instant messaging, radio streaming, VoIP and games. By blocking these applications, Surf-SeCure reduces bandwidth consumption and prevents malicious content from entering the network.
