Vital Web Security Suite™

The M86 Secure Web Gateway is powered by the Vital Web Secure Suite, a group of complementary technologies that provide the most accurate, comprehensive malware protection available.

Real-time Code Analysis Technology

Preempts Unknown, Dynamic Threats
M86's Real-time Code Analysis engine detects and blocks obfuscated code and other dynamic cybercrime techniques in real time. It analyzes all incoming and outgoing Web content communicated over HTTP and HTTPS, regardless of origin and without signature matching. As a result, malware is detected and blocked before entering the network—even when hiding in encrypted SSL traffic.

Dynamic Web Repair™

Eliminates Malicious Code from Web Content
In the event a legitimate website is compromised, Dynamic Web Repair™ removes the malicious code seamlessly—without blocking the website. After eliminating the offending code, Dynamic Web Repair™ delivers the safe Web content to the user, ensuring continued productivity.

Vulnerability Anti.dote™

Closes the Vulnerability Gap for Known, Zero-hour Attacks
Vulnerability Anti.dote provides powerful, proactive Web security while reducing patch management overhead. Based on M86's knowledge of new software vulnerabilities, behavioral rules are created to enable Vulnerability Anti.dote scanning engines to identify and block content that tries to exploit one or more weaknesses. New rules are included in M86's security updates and installed transparently in all M86 SWG deployed appliances. This enables organizations to immunize all systems from vulnerabilities without needing to apply emergency patches.

Granular Social Media Control

Controls Access to Web 2.0 Applications
This feature enables organizations to block posts, comments or uploads to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, while allowing employees to use other site functions. This prevents data leakage and helps enforce AUPs.

Anti-virus Scanning

Scans for Known Viruses
Serving as a first line of defense, anti-virus scanning blocks known viruses prior to the deep content scanning performed by Real-time Code Analysis. This is available as an optional feature and can be included in the Vital Web Security Suite package.

URL Filtering

Manages Productivity
URL filtering is an ideal way to control employee browsing habits, increase productivity and improve network performance. And with the M86 Web Filter List, customers who use the M86 Secure Web Gateway and M86 Web Filter have access to the industry's leading URL list with more than 100 categories for granular Acceptable Usage Policy enforcement. The M86 Web Filter List is available as an optional feature and can be included in the Vital Web Security Suite package.
