WEBROOT SOFTWARE provides the leading anti-spyware solutions for individuals and organizations
around the globe. Enterprises today need to effectively block and remove new and rapidly evolving Internet security threats while minimizing system impact. Spyware and other malicious software is becoming more aggressive and insidious every day, with spyware developers using variations of old tricks to bypass new solutions. Given the significant financial incentives to stealing sensitive data or serving nuisance advertising, spyware has become adept at covertly infiltrating a system and installing itself deep within an infected computer.

Defining the Spyware Threat

Webroot’s enterprise anti-spyware solutions protect the key entry points (perimeter and desktop) of your network from attack, ensuring your confidential and proprietary assets are safe from external threats. The Webroot enterprise solution comes in two parts:

• RockSafe™ E1000 perimeter anti-spyware on the IronPort S-Series™ appliance—The strongest network anti-spyware solution on the market, focused on detecting and blocking spyware before it can infect the enterprise; and

• Spy Sweeper™ Enterprise—The industry leading desktop anti-spyware solution created to mitigate all spyware threats if they have infiltrated the perimeter through other means such as the use of USB drives or laptops taken off the corporate network.
