What Is the ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat
Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or STM600?
The ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or
STM600, hereafter referred to as the STM, is an appliance-based, Web security solution that
protects the network perimeter against Web-borne threats from spyware, viruses, and e-mail, 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, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)/
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), dedicated Intranet security products, and endpoint antivirus
and anti-spyware software.
Powered by patent-pending Stream Scanning technology and backed by one of the most
comprehensive malware databases in the industry, the STM 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.
