iboss Fly Through Miercom Malware Assessment

Web security, like WiFi, has moved away from being a luxury to a necessity in any network. When iboss decided to take on one of the most strenuous tests available for cyber security they came out with exemplary results.

The Miercom’s assessment put the Cloud Secure Web Gateway Platform through its paces by testing advanced and evasive threats including those posed by the dark web’s TOR-based malware. Despite the multitude and variety of the threats posed, the iboss system came out on top, posting scores well over the industry standard. The cyber security specialists scored ‘100%’ against the most contemporary and dangerous threats, earning the Miercom security certification.

 

The figures speak for themselves. Fast Facts:

iboss have also recently been recognised as one of only a handful government approved cyber security vendors – in response to the new prevention act that comes into action in October.

The act addresses the latest concerns in education environments; extremist radicalisation and online grooming, by ensuring all establishments have measures in place to prevent access to sites in which these threats thrive.

Web Security, the web content filtering product from iboss, prevents clients on a network accessing pages that have been identified by the network administrator as a threat or not appropriate for consumption in that environment.  In the case of someone trying to access these pages it will naturally be prohibited and then reported back to the nominated personnel.

The secure web gateway also stops accessing these sites via VPN’s or proxies and also has the functionality to stop access to the dark web.  As well as the refined categorisation & prioritisation of web traffic, FireSphere, the advanced threat defence software from iboss, prevents malware, viruses and the ever growing threat of ransomware from infecting the networks.
