IronPort Web Security Appliances

Cisco has acquired Ironport. Please visit our Cisco site for the latest re-branded Ironport products.

The number of security threats introduced by web traffic has reached epidemic proportions. More than 1 billion new web pages are added every day, a staggering tribute to the success of Web 2.0 and the popularity of user-generated content. This content explosion, combined with rapid content churn—more than 30 percent of the domains change on an annual basis—has created a vast “dark web”. Traditional gateway defenses are proving to be inadequate against a variety of web-based malware, leaving corporate networks exposed to the inherent danger posed by these threats. In addition to the security risks introduced by web-based malware and spyware, web traffic also exposes an organization to compliance and productivity risks introduced by inappropriate usage of the web within an organization protected by legacy URL filtering solutions.

The Cisco-IronPort S-Series web security appliance is the industry's first and only secure web gateway to combine next generation Web Usage Controls, reputation filtering, malware filtering and data security on a single platform to address these risks. Leveraging Cisco SIO and global threat correlation technology help to increase the intelligence and speed of Cisco IronPort appliances. This advanced technology enables organizations to improve their security and transparently protect users from the latest Internet threats.
