Webwasher SSL Scanner

Webwasher SSL ScannerWebwasher SSL Scanner enables enterprises to apply their existing security and Internet usage policies to the HTTPS protocol and prevents certificate misuse.

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 Viruses , Spyware and Trojans?

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, Spyware, MP3s, pornography and confidential company files included - are beyond the reach of any Anti Virus scanner and content filter.

Filling the hole in your armor
Webwasher SSL Scanner enables enterprises to apply their existing security and Internet usage policies to ALL key Web protocols:

  • HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS.

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, Spyware and Trojans.

What customers say

"We believe that SSL encrypted traffic will continue to increase considerably - already 33 percent of companies are using SSL for remote access to applications. Our recently published report about the state of IT security in Germany stresses the necessity of integrated and preventative security measures, which identify new security gaps at an early stage.
Right now the German Web-filtering market is very dynamic. In Germany, this segment will grow an average of 25 percent per year or more between 2002 and 2004. As the market leader in Germany, webwasher AG has played a decisive role in the creation of this market and today has the highest degree of visibility among dedicated providers of Web-filtering solutions."
