A10 Networks and Webroot Partner to Extend Web Classification to A10 Thunder ADCs - Seite 2

"We are excited to partner with A10 Networks and integrate our market-leading web classification capabilities with A10 Networks' innovative SSL inspection solution," said Scott Merkle, vice president of enterprise and OEM sales at Webroot. "Together, we can empower organizations to identify threats lurking in SSL traffic while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements."

The Webroot BrightCloud Web Classification Service enables network and security vendors to help enterprise customers protect users against web threats and meet regulatory compliance requirements. The advanced, self-learning Webroot® Intelligence Network continuously scans the internet, leaving no place for threats to hide. Using a highly sophisticated combination of global threat sensors, machine learning algorithms and human classification, Webroot maintains and expands its knowledge of website classifications and integrates this information into the BrightCloud Web Classification Service.

Webroot and A10 Networks integration benefits:

• Comprehensive website coverage: Webroot scores and classifies over 460 million domains in more than 45 languages to correctly identify and categorize websites.
• Highly accurate web categorization: Advanced machine learning classifies websites at a rate of over 2,500 per second with an extremely low error rate.
• Automated classification updates: Thunder ADC can automatically download new URL updates and -- with the optional cloud service -- perform cloud-based lookups for unknown URLs.
• Industry-first URL classification in an ADC: A10 has delivered the first SSL Intercept feature with web classification in an enterprise-grade application delivery controller. A10 customers can quickly enable and configure the Web Classification Service in their Thunder ADC appliances.

Availability
The Web Classification Service for Thunder ADC is available as an annual subscription for Thunder and AX ADC product lines in ACOS (Advanced Core Operating System) 4.0, available in Q4. A10 Networks will be available to discuss the Webroot integration at Black Hat on August 5-7, 2014 in Las Vegas, Booth #659.
