Enabling secure Web 2.0 access

Many NZ businesses are utilising social networking and collaboration sites such as Facebook and YouTube for legitimate business purposes.

These sites provide NZ organisations low cost access to information with immediate business impact. An example is posting training videos on You Tube, sending out company messages via Twitter or running background checks on potential new employees. Organisations staff require limited training as they are already personal users and these sites provide new channels to market and opportunities to collaborate.  But allowing access to Web 2.0 sites presents companies with challenges in terms of security policies, risk and protection.

In our experience the challenge for many businesses is how to say yes to the departments demanding access to the sites, whilst providing a secure safety net and maintaining policy, without exception.

Our experts have worked with organisations to understand the demands of the business and to map these to an effective security position enforced by the McAfee Web Gateway. This gives the organisation assurance of both up to the minute real time reputation based protection, with anti-malware, anti-virus and reporting.  It enables companies to extend protection and policy to unguarded channels such as SSL traffic and to embrace social networking and collaboration securely, whilst meeting the demands of the business.

In New Zealand, organisations in the government and finance sector have implemented McAfee Web Gateway to manage the compromise between security and the demands of the business.
