How does the MX Logic Web Defense Service work?
Your Web traffic is routed through our Web proxy servers, which filter the traffic according to policies you’ve determined in the MX Control Console. Threats are stopped safely at the network perimeter before they reach your computers or network. • First, Content Control and Phishing policies are applied, which prevent users from accessing inappropriate websites. If the user tries to visit an uncategorized site, our Dynamic Realtime Rating engine attempts to classify the site on the fly, which is essential, as many new inappropriate Websites come online each day. • Spyware payloads are blocked as spyware tries to “phone home.” • An “access denied” Web page is displayed when access to the undesirable Web page is blocked. • Finally, Web traffic is scanned for malicious code, including spyware, viruses and Trojans.
