Global Intelligence: The Next Level of Protection

There is an enormous amount of traffic that moves across the enterprise gateway, and this fact, along with the expansion of the boundaries of the enterprise itself, has changed how we must view security. Web 2.0 attacks are now able to penetrate the network through the highest layers of the OSI model, and new attacks are being created with startling frequency.

Secure Computing's TrustedSource global intelligence reputation system provides the "missing link" that has long been absent from Internet security. TrustedSource global intelligence forms the foundation of Secure Computing's entire range of messaging, Web, and network gateway solutions, accumulating data from over 7000 sensors in 51 countries to create highly accurate profiles of all sender activity on the Internet. TrustedSource global intelligence uses these profiles to create a reputation score for each sender, based on behavior.

TrustedSource global intelligence adds an extra layer of protection to Secure Computing's Unified Threat Management platform, combining TrustedSource global intelligence proactive security with proven solutions. TrustedSource adds this extra layer of protection through the volume, quality and accuracy of its reputational data.

The TrustedSource global intelligence reputation system works well with existing systems to supplement their utility. Simple reactive systems are no longer adequate, and zero-day attacks are prevailing throughout the Internet. Signature-based systems are of course, an important part of protection, but they can't do the job alone. Attacks that have not yet been identified and categorized can penetrate thousands of computers in just minutes. With TrustedSource global intelligence, the reputation of a traffic source is analyzed, and the system determines whether it is reliable. Using this technique, which has been highly refined for accuracy, TrustedSource shuts down unreliable senders at the gateway, before they can get into your network and do damage. Even if the specific attack has not yet been identified, TrustedSource global intelligence recognizes the source, says "I know you, you're up to no good," and blocks the connection.

TrustedSource global intelligence combats spam and other attacks with a sophisticated solution that is dynamic, comprehensive and precise, and is based on actual traffic. Like a virtual credit agency, TrustedSource assigns a reputation score and classifies senders based on an in-depth analysis of more than a dozen attributes of each sender.
