Web Security
In 2007, security experts received approximately two million unique malware samples. By the end of 2008, that number
is projected to surpass 15 million. Web-based threats are an exponentially growing problem, with new threat types and attack
vectors continuously emerging. As a result, IT managers must develop comprehensive security measures which consider the wide
array of threats.
The NETGEAR® ProSecure™ security appliances use a best-of-breed security architecture to protect business networks from viruses,
worms, spyware, trojans, rootkits, keyloggers, and other Internet-based threats - without impacting network productivity. All inbound
and outbound content over HTTP, HTTPS (secure HTTP), and FTP is inspected for millions of known threats and unknown threats, proactively
discovering and blocking threats to the network.

Instrumental to ProSecure™ security appliances, the patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology scans data streams as they enter the
network, rather than waiting for the entire communication to download before a scan can be performed. This enables the ProSecure
appliance to process large amounts of data quickly, using a single scan to stop malware at the gateway before it infiltrates the network.

ProSecure™ security appliances employ NETGEAR Hybrid In-the-Cloud Distributed Web Analysis technology to filter malicious and unwanted
URLs. With a virtually limitless master database of over 100 million URLs located in the cloud divided into 64 categories, data feeds from
HTTP connectors deployed "in the cloud" at service providers throughout the world are analyzed and categorized by the NETGEAR URL Classification
Center in real-time. The NETGEAR® Distributed Web Analysis URL filtering engine automatically self adapts and categorizes new URLs that have
previously been unknown – unlike less effective approaches that force administrators to manually "submit" new entries one by one. The
Distributed Web Analysis not only blocks access to unwanted sites, but also blocks sites containing malware and other security threats.
