After fighting off viruses and worms, you know the importance of securing your email. But spam, spyware, and inappropriate content often slip through the cracks in your security defenses—and confidential corporate information can leak out.
To lock out Internet threats, your best defense is an integrated plan that combines messaging protection with Web security. As spyware and Web-based malware cause increasing damage and information loss, Web security must become a priority for your security plan. An integrated Web and messaging security approach with McAfee® Secure Internet Gateway is an effective and easy-to-maintain way to stop spyware, spam, inappropriate Web content, phishing attacks, viruses, worms, and Trojans before they damage your business.

That protection is necessary, but with the rising tide of Internet threats, it's no longer enough.

McAfee Secure Internet Gateway stops threats before they get on your network and then onto your desktops and laptops. When you add protection against messaging and Web threats at the Internet gateway, you create a comprehensive layered defense—which larger enterprises have relied on for years—at a price that's right for your business.
