Industry-Leading Anti-Spyware, Webroot Spy Sweeper®

Our automated threat research system, Phileas, scours the Web and discovers spyware faster and more efficiently than any other spyware research method – with a substantially reduced number of false positives. Sites containing malware are automatically blocked through our URL filtering engine to ensure additional protection for end users.

URL Filtering
Internet Access Control
Keep your organisation safe from the risks of open Internet access with our best-of-breed URL filtering engine. Millions of URLs are automatically categorized into 12 main categories and 96 subcategories. This database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control over company Internet use.
Data Loss Protection
Block Web 2.0 applications such as social media sites, Web mail applications and instant messaging sites to help prevent data loss, improve bandwidth and reduce costs. Web content can be blocked according to file type and Web application. You can also apply file type restrictions to block the receipt of unwanted or large Web files at the Internet layer.
Customized Access Control
Internet access policies can be applied to individual users or groups and enforced based on site category, time and user location. You can customise “Blocked” and “Coached” access pages to help inform and manage company Internet use policies. For even greater filtering control, create customised URL allow and deny lists.
“Scan Ahead” Search
This unique feature applies color-coded tags to search engine results to proactively notify users of company Internet use policy. Search engine results include green, yellow and red labels that indicate whether a site can be accessed, is blocked or potentially contains malware. Color-coding of results can be set based on group or individual user policy.
Proxy Bypass Detection
With proxy bypass detection, Webroot enforces company Internet use policies even when users attempt to access blocked pages through common or custom proxy bypass sites.
Management
Manage Internal Security and Use Policies
Manage organisational Internet use and security policies with a powerful, customisable rules engine that facilitates the creation of user, group and account level policies. Create and monitor Internet use policy based on:
* Inbound and outbound HTTP, HTTPS and FTP over HTTP traffic
* Website category, time of day, and user location
* Allowed, blocked or coached website access
* Web application blocking
* Inbound and outbound file type, file size and attachment blocking
Get Real-Time Visibility
A Web-based management portal provides real-time visibility into company Internet use with:
* Intuitive management dashboard with real-time Web traffic summary reports
* Reporting interface to create, save and schedule graphical management reports that track Internet use by user, group or account.
* Access to log file data displaying real-time statistics on company web traffic and web activities.
* Ability to download or send log files as a CSV file to facilitate further analysis.
Create Timely, Accurate Reports
Web traffic log data is updated in real-time to ensure fast and accurate reporting. Summary management dashboard reports are automatically updated to provide up-to-the-minute visibility into company Internet traffic. Log data is compiled across all domains within the system on an hourly basis, then optimised and stored for detailed report generation.
Management reports can be run ad-hoc or scheduled, allowing organizations to accurately monitor Internet use by user or group, with various graphs representing web traffic trends, top blocked URLs, blocked malware, bandwidth use and more.
Import Users with LDAP Integration
Use LDAP to retrieve data from existing company directories and populate group- and user-level settings. Webroot Web Security SaaS will query the LDAP server, retrieve relevant attributes and populate data into group memberships. The configurable LDAP filter allows directory tree queries regardless of the company directory schema.
Mobile
Protect Mobile Users Seamlessly
Enforce company Internet use policies regardless of where an employee is working – whether it’s at home, the airport, a hotel or an Internet café. Mobile laptop users receive automatic and uninterrupted protection even while they are outside their organisation’s network.
In-the-cloud Authentication
Because the Webroot service sits in-the-cloud, laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network, saving company bandwidth and network resources. This mobile user protection is an integrated part of the service and does not require any additional hardware or server-based software.
