What is the ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat
Management Appliance STM150?
The STM150 is an appliance-based, Web security solution that protects the network perimeter
against Web-borne threats, from spyware, viruses, email, and blended threats. Ideally deployed at
the gateway, it serves as the network’s first line of defense against all types of threats and
complements firewalls, IDS/IPS, dedicated intranet security products, and endpoint antivirus/anti-
spyware software.
Powered by patent-pending stream scanning technology and backed by one of the most
comprehensive malware databases in the industry, STM150 can detect and stop all known spyware
and viruses at the gateway, preventing them from reaching your desktops and servers where
cleanup would be much more difficult.
In addition to scanning HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP traffic, the STM150 protects
networks against spam phishing attacks, and unwanted Web use.
