Blue Coat ProxySG™

The Blue Coat ProxySG™ family of proxy appliances provides total visibility and control of Web communications, while actually improving web performance. Based on Blue Coat SGOS™, a custom, object-based operating system with integrated caching, these proxy appliances leverage existing authentication systems to enable flexible policy enforcement down to the individual user. ProxySG provides comprehensive proxy support of all Web protocols with integrated content filtering, spyware prevention, Web virus scanning, instant messaging control, peer-to-peer (P2P) control, streaming control, and pop-up ad blocking.

The ProxyAV family of appliances integrates with the ProxySG to provide scalable, high-performance, real-time scanning of Web content for viruses, worms and trojans. Pairing the ProxyAV with the ProxySG provides significant advantages for high-speed Web virus scanning that standalone systems cannot match. Both the ProxyAV 400 and the ProxyAV 2000 provide comprehensive features with easy deployment - and a choice of virus scanning engines from Sophos, McAfee and Panda.

Blue Coat's end-to-end product portfolio includes powerful reporting, policy and configuration management software - delivering a scalable proxy system architecture for centralised or distributed enterprise environments. Click here for more information on Blue Coat products.
