Web security administrators once planned their hardware purchases based on peak
traffic expectations. With the growth of video and other rich, bandwidth-intensive
content, traffic is now less predictable, leading to overages or drops in performance.
Administrators also had to allow for long lead times, remote installation challenges,
customs duties, and other logistical issues involved with buying and installing hardware,
especially in multinational organizations.
The Cisco WSAV uses multiple layers of antimalware protection. Cisco Web Reputation
Filters analyze web traffic and block URLs that fall short of an acceptable threshold.
Adaptive Scanning then dynamically selects the most relevant scanner based on URL
reputation, content type, and efficacy of the scanner, and improves the catch rate by
scanning high-risk objects first during increased scan loads.
The Layer 4 Traffic Monitor continuously scans activity, detecting and blocking spyware
phone-home communications. By tracking all network applications, the Layer 4
Traffic Monitor effectively stops malware that attempts to bypass classic web security
solutions. It dynamically adds IP addresses of known malware domains to its list of
malicious entities to block.

Enforce policy and provide granular control over application and user behavior using
context-aware inspection from a single, easy-to-use management interface.
Get the benefits of several web security solutions on a single virtual machine. While
other solutions require complex multidevice deployments, the Cisco WSAV operates as
a standalone solution, deployed alone or integrated with existing infrastructure. Multiple
WSAVs can be controlled using the Cisco S-Series Management Appliance (SMA).
All-in-One Solution
Simplifies deployment
Simplify web security deployment by aggregating several web security features in a
single software solution. With its simplified architecture, the WSAV reduces IT costs by
having fewer devices to manage, support, and maintain.
