M86 Security, a security service provider, has announced a virtual appliance version of its Secure Web Gateway (SWG), the M86 Secure Web Gateway 10.1, for protection against dynamic threats.
The new SWG is designed to provide more options for organisations to deploy M86’s real-time malware detection as an appliance, hybrid cloud service, and now virtual appliance.
The new virtual appliance gives organisations the flexibility to deploy the SWG on their own hardware of choice and in smaller environments, claims the company.
The new release has additional features in M86’s Real-Time Code Analysis (RTCA) anti-malware technology. These features, claims the company, increase visibility into malicious code and correlate the individual Web page elements to detect and protect against dynamic threats and cross-component attacks and provide accurate malware detection.
M86 Security vice-president of product management Werner Thalmeier said the enhancements the company has made to its RTCA represent one of industry’s most accurate malicious code detection and malware protection.
Thalmeier said, "Just as exciting is M86’s ability to offer our industry-leading Web security in a virtual appliance version of our Secure Web Gateway, which meets a real market need for flexible deployment of Web security."
M86 will present the new release at the RSA conference in San Francisco, 14-18 February.
The M86 Secure Web Gateway 10.1 will be available in April 2011.
