Access to the Internet plays a vital role in conducting business today. Users and employers depend on the Internet for applications, collaboration with colleagues, and conducting research. However, the Internet can also be the conduit for both inappropriate and malicious activity. Today applications, exploits, and malware can slip through the existing traditional firewall, web security gateways, proxies, and IPS security devices. Even controlling legitimate applications can be problematic due to the growing use of evasive technologies such as port hopping, encryption, and proxies. The challenge is to say “yes” to the applications while systematically managing and defending the risks.

Pacific Wave’s IP PROTECT Service allows us to provide safe access to Internet resources through an innovative approach that identifies and manages traffic. Instead of basing policy on port numbers and IP addresses. Take control of your traffic by building security policies based on who can use particular applications while scanning for undesirable or inappropriate content. Understand what’s on your network by examining all traffic on all ports. IP PROTECT allows you to say “yes” to the applications that your organization needs without introducing unnecessary risks.
