Subject: products for scanning http/ftp, and blocking malicious sites?

 

We're currently evaluating TrendMicro's Interscan Web Security Suite. We
have it configured between our http proxy server and the internet, and
it does http and ftp scanning as well as URL filter to block access to
known phishing/malware sites. It gets antivirus and URL blacklist
updates automatically?

 

Are there other products out there that do something similar? All of our
clients have updated antivirus software installed, but we'd like the
additional protection of stopping that stuff at the gateway if we can.
We'd also like to be able to prevent users from ending up on phishing or
other malware sites. 

 

Any suggestions you have are appreciated. TIA!
