Complete Proactive Content Security from the Gateway to the Desktop Copyright © 2003 Aladdin Knowledge Systems
What is Content Security? Content Security ensures a clean flow of information Free of malicious code: Vandals, viruses, worms, Trojans, ActiveX, Java, scripts Free of Inappropriate and nonproductive content
Some Facts About Content Security 96% of corporations use anti-virus products Virus attacks are constantly rising, and so are the damages Most anti-virus products are desktop solutions Many organizations use anti- virus solutions Most organizations do not inspect Web (HTTP) traffic, yet...
A complete Content Security solution covers: Malicious code that destroys or steals digital assets Inappropriate and nonproductive material The misuse of company resources (P.S. If one of the checkmarks is empty, eSafe could be the solution you need)
Mail server level Content Inspection (SMTP and/or Exchange) Gateway level Content Inspection (FW-1 or other firewalls) Desktop level Content Inspection (P.S. If one of the checkmarks is empty, eSafe could be the solution you need) Multi-tiered Content Security
Proactive Security The eSafe Way - Multiple levels of content security throughout the enterprise - Multiple content security methods: Scanning Heuristics Blocking
Content Security Methods Scanning identifies malicious code using known signatures. Scanning is the most common anti-virus method. Scanning is update dependant. Scanning is update dependant. Pattern signatures can be applied to any type of malicious code. Pattern signatures can be applied to any type of malicious code. Ghost Machine™ is an advanced scanning technology that detects complicated polymorphic, encrypted, and stealth malicious code.
Heuristics Heuristics is a method of analyzing scripted programs such VB/Java scripts and MS Office macros. Heuristics can detect variants of known vandal code as well as completely new and unknown malicious code. Macro Terminator™ is used to eliminate VBA macros and SmartScript™ filtering removes malicious VBScript and JavaScript vandals. Content Security Methods
Blocking Used for stripping dangerous content sent by untrusted source, such as: Executable attachments Macros in Office documents Scripts in s Effective as an immediate solution for outbreaks, until an update is available.

Hi-capacity Network Challenges Full Content Inspection in networks with over 8Mbit connections can create bottlenecks Traditional proxy solutions are difficult to implement and are not scalable Traditional solutions can produce a single-point-of-failure situation
What is HTTP traffic composed of? Nearly 80% of HTTP traffic is composed of safe data: GIF, JPEG, MPEG, etc. Only 20% of HTTP traffic needs to be inspected
The Aladdin-Radware Solution eSafe Gateway with Nitro Inspection Routing (NIR) A fast, MIME type based content security routing policy system. Radware CID An advanced ITM (Internet Traffic Management) device capable of rerouting, load-balancing and health monitoring capabilities. + = The first high-capacity Internet content security and management for the large enterprise or xSP. Up to 500% content inspection speed increase and advanced scalability options.
How Does It Work? File Type Redirection Other protocols and Trusted HTTP traffic and files bypasses Content Inspectors (according to MIME type) Several ESG/ESM machines inspecting different content Potentially malicious content is routed for inspection in an eSafe content inspection farm. ESG1 ESG2ESG3ESM1 Only files that are potentially malicious are routed for content inspection Radware CID
