Blue Coat

Deliver fast, secure Web applications

Your business relies on IT to move faster than ever. But with mobile users putting greater demands on Web application performance, how can you deliver the network speed and security to keep your enterprise running 24/7?

Blue Coat has the answer. We offer solutions for a Secure Web Gateway, WAN Optimization and Business Applications that accelerate business processes without compromising data security. We can help manage some of your toughest IT and business challenges by:

• Protecting against malware, spyware and data leaks
• Filtering all content at the Web gateway
• Enforcing granular policies over user access
• Restricting non-essential, bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming video
• Delivering top application performance even during peak network demand

How does Blue Coat work?

Blue Coat resolves the “stop/go” conflict that often forces IT departments to choose between application performance and security. Unlike many security products that impede all traffic, including encrypted transactions, Blue Coat solutions have the intelligence to “stop the bad and accelerate the good” right at the Web gateway.

Blue Coat does it with a feature-rich solution that helps you centralize IT management and decentralize your workforce and network applications - safely. Specifically, Blue Coat helps automate bandwidth management and security so application performance is never impeded by malicious activity or bandwidth-clogging downloads. The result is a highly efficient and secure network, managed by a single solution that eliminates the cost and complexity of multiple point products.
