SaaS, Web 2.0 & xSPs Security
Overview

Webroot Managed Security Solutions

Service providers (xSPs), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Web 2.0 businesses face significant challenges to deploy and maintain world-class security features for their products and services. Multi-tenancy, access from anywhere over the Internet, dynamic content and social applications which connect users from multiple enterprises, require xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 providers to implement a multi-layered approach to security. Lack of robust security hinders customer adoption of new business models and exposes your business reputation and revenue.

From SaaS security to xSPs and Web 2.0 security, Webroot's cloud based managed security solutions can help you solve these challenges by providing an efficient, differentiated set of security capabilities which can be easily incorporated into your products and services via our SDK. These new capabilities not only create a more secure environment, but also help create new sources of value for you and your customers.

Solutions
Webroot's managed security solutions provide xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 providers with a set of rich security capabilities to enhance their products and services:
  • Content Classification, Web Reputation and IP Reputation Services - provide comprehensive and accurate Internet data services which can be leveraged in a wide variety of xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 applications:
    • Prevent or warn social media users from accessing fraudulent, malicious or low reputation web sites or other Internet resources;
    • Provide parental control capabilities by blocking or warning of access to inappropriate or low reputation web sites;
    • Provide content or reputation based web filtering to help customers maintain work-place productivity and reduce Internet access costs;
    • Block fraudulent inbound access to web services from malicious or low reputation sources;
    • Understand web usage patterns for more effective advertising or other user behavior research;
  • SecureAnywhere - our cloud-based end-point protection can be packaged by xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 providers to protect against malware and viruses via a light weight, high-performance client. This revolutionary new approach to end-point security not only provides comprehensive detection and remediation of threats to individual end-points, but can also provide a unique set of security intelligence capabilities to providers which can form the basis for new value added security services.
  • Web & Email Security-as-a-Service - can be leveraged by xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 providers to add web and email protection features to their own cloud-based services. xSPs can white-label Webroot's Web and Email security services to rapidly deploy turn-key solutions without costly development cycles. These services can help providers extend their reach into the enterprise to ensure that web and email traffic is cleaned and secured as enterprises access web services.
  • Mobile Security - provides protection for Android and iOS (beta) based mobile devices. As users increasingly access web applications from mobile phones and tablets, most xSP, SaaS and Web 2.0 providers attempt to secure the use of these devices through establishing a secure connection through the use of SSL or VPN, but do not have the capability to ensure that the mobile device is protected from outside threats. Webroot can help providers address this significant security gap by addressing the risks inherent in mobile devices with anti-malware, URL filtering and remote device locate/lock/wipe capabilities.
