The Blue Coat ProxySG™ is the leading proxy appliance for controlling and securing user communications and applications over the Web. It enables organisations to obtain comprehensive visibility and reporting on Web communications throughout the organisation.

While security devices such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems protect internal networks from external attacks, it's secure proxy devices that can help manage and control user communication over the Web. As a result, more and more organisations are deploying proxy devices to provide a safe and productive enterprise Web environment.

A proxy device doesn't replace existing perimeter security devices; rather, it complements them by giving organisations the ability to control user communications in a number of ways that firewalls and other externally focused devices can’t. The ProxySG™ provides visibility and control for today’s risks that include:

  Network resource abuse due to P2P file sharing, video streaming, and other unsanctioned applications

  Virus introduction via backdoors when using P2P, Web email and Instant Messaging (IM)

  Legal liability and productivity loss as a result of inappropriate Web surfing

The ProxySG™ Policy Processing Engine (patent-pending) enables sophisticated security triggers based on individual users, groups of users, time of day, location, protocol, hostname user agent, content type and other attributes to initiate pre-defined policy actions in line with corporate usage guidelines or directives.
