In order to truly protect SMB networks, security solutions need to be able to fully secure email and web communication. Email SPAM, malware embedded in email SPAM, and risky web surfing to unauthorized sites all contribute to raising a business’s exposure to Internet-borne threats. Commtouch’s RPD and GlobalView email and web filtering technology give our ProSecure STM Series the power to protect our SMB customers without adding undue management complexity.

The explosion in highly dynamic sites, user-initiated content, and growing web threats like drive-by downloads make it nearly impossible for these client-centric solutions to filter URLs meaningfully any longer.
Commtouch's GlobalView URL Filtering solution leverages its unique "in the cloud" infrastructure to provide unprecedented breadth of web coverage. The solution localizes responses specifically to the needs of end-customers, avoiding the "one size fits all" approach of traditional solutions. With nearly two decades in the email security industry, Commtouch provides matchless insight into threats, blocking harmful sites at the zero hour, often long before users are exposed to them.
