TrustedSource Reputation-Based Security with Global-Intelligence
Sidewinder is the first and only firewall that offers reputation-based security for the edge of networks. Sidewinder now incorporates a bi-directional global intelligence feed from Secure Computing’s industry-leading reputation service, TrustedSource. This enables Sidewinder to make proactive security decisions based on the real-time known behavior of IP addresses worldwide.
TrustedSource Global Intelligence Centers analyze over 100 billion mail messages worldwide each month, and continually assign each IP sender a numeric reputation score ranging from good to bad. This dynamic scoring system provides Sidewinder with a unique new layer of comprehensive protection.
Sidewinder customers benefit from this real-time data feed reputation service because it allows Sidewinder appliances to automatically drop huge volumes of unwanted and infected mail at the outer edge of our customers’ networks. By rejecting connections from known bad senders of spam, or machines that have been taken over and turned into malware-distributing zombies, Sidewinder can eliminate well over 60% of the ever-increasing mail traffic flooding into today’s networks. As a result, huge volumes of unwanted mail can be rejected before it reaches your critical mail servers, providing the following high-value benefits:
- Saves on messaging servers’ processing time
- Increases available network bandwidth
- Minimizes networking infrastructure expenses
- Improves overall security posture
