Web 2.0 applications replace their Web 1.0 predecessors with standard use of HTTP and HTTPS, obsolescing the need for separate protocols supporting separate applications and hence the caching needs they require. Rapid adoption of Web 2.0 applications and wide availability of inexpensive bandwidth dictates a review of how network traffic and application use have changed:

• Decrease in amount of cacheable HTTP content
• Decreased use of FTP
• Streaming media caching for Web 2.0: Flash-based streaming over HTTP
• Obsolescence of news group NNTP caching
• Increased need for security for web traffic as result of changing threat landscape

Secure Web: SecureCache for Web 2.0

Secure Web is the only Web Gateway Security solution available on the market that integrates caching and security, delivering bandwidth savings and reduced latency without compromising security! Coupled with Secure Web’s #1 rated anti-malware engine and industry-leading TrustedSource global reputation service, Secure Web is security for the Web 2.0 world.

Key benefits:

Efficient single appliance solution - In today’s flat-rate bandwidth world the focus of caching has shifted towards security and delivery time to end-user, not on bandwidth savings. Secure Web delivers security and reduced latency.

A more efficient cache - Some legacy caching solutions first check the object in question against a signature-based anti-virus solution prior to caching the object. Every time a virus signature file is updated, the cache has to be cleared and the file re-fetched from the Internet. In today's Web 2.0 world where hourly updates to virus detection engines are not uncommon - the performance hit is obvious!

Secure Web caches the result of the virus signature scan along with the object. As a result, Secure Web does not have to flush the cache each time a signature file is updated. Instead it only rescans the object the first time it is requested after the update, delivering a significant improvement in caching overhead compared to some legacy solutions.

Security beyond reactive anti-virus signature protection - In addition to signature-based anti-virus protection, Secure Web Anti-Malware applies its #1 rated proactive intent filters to the object per the requestor’s policy. Secure Web also checks the object against its latest security reputation according to the requestor’s policy. Scanning an object prior to delivery to the desktop for both malware and reputation is unique to Secure Web and provides unparalleled security.

Support for the streaming needs of today’s enterprise - Secure Web supports caching of the most frequently used streaming media formats in use today (Flash and RTSP over HTTP), delivering better security integration than legacy caching solutions designed a decade ago.
