Blue Coat’s patent-pending Spyware Catching Object
Protection Engine (SCOPE) intercepts and analyses
all executable web traffic, then implements preset
policy preferences to remove known, likely, or
simply potential spyware. SCOPE allows viewing the
non-executable portions of web pages whenever
possible. SCOPE uniquely evaluates risk based on
characteristics of the executable code and a
comparison of the referring site to more than 8.0
million analyzed sites. SCOPE uses 10 methods of
spyware prevention that can be configured with a
simple GUI. SCOPE blocks known and unknown spyware
both inbound and outbound, while enabling page views
and legitimate applications.
Why is the spyware problem so
difficult to solve?
-
Spyware is rapidly recompiled
so that signature-based systems are unable to
keep up with the numerous, easily generated,
original spyware files from web servers,
rendering signature-based approaches
ineffective.
-
Packet-based systems cannot recognise the
difference between appropriate executables and
spyware, hence they are not accurate enough to
be effective.
-
Simple URL filtering systems are binary. They
block the entire web page, sometimes inhibiting
legitimate business usages, or do not block at
all allowing spyware downloads to the entire
organisation.
-
Spyware desktop cleaning utilities only report
when a PC is already infected, and then only for
known spyware infections. Tests show they can
not completely remove 30-60% of the spyware,
leading many IT professionals to simply re-image
infected PC’s.
What makes Blue Coat Systems’ approach unique?
While spyware executable code changes every few days
or hours, the sites that push spyware are much more
constant. Once a website has taken money for pushing
spyware, it is highly likely they will continue to
do so. Blue Coat prevents spyware by tracking those
sites known or highly likely to push spyware, and
then removing the potential spyware code in
downloads from those sites.
Blue Coat’s optimised and streamlined proxy
appliance delivers the best balance of spyware
prevention and business process enablement for a
uniquely real-world solution. Only Blue Coat Systems
has the necessary combination of world-class proxy
expertise (20,000+ installations) to understand Web
objects, plus deep content filtering expertise (over
8.0 million web sites analyzed) required to identify
known and likely spyware sources, strip out spyware
downloads, yet enable needed page views. This
combination delivers effective, sustainable and
usable gateway spyware prevention.
"Spyware Interceptor delivers effective
prevention to help you escape from the futile cycle
of manually cleaning spyware off of PC's only to
have it reappear a few days later."
