Security xSP Integrations

As a hosted solution, BrightCloud integrates easily with other hosted solutions.

Enterprise Security xSPs such as spam filtering and email management or other hosted security solutions that target the enterprise are a natural for adding a web filtering feature to their solutions. With their infrastructure already in place, customers who have asked for a hosted solution, and a channel that knows how to sell a hosted security solution, plugging the BrightCloud web filtering services into their existing infrastructure is easy.

As more and more enterprise customers recognize that the various communications media typically managed by xSPs- especially email- are a source of a variety of internet based threats such as:

• Malware
• Phishing or pharming attacks
• spyware

Or those communications media can be a source of less virulent but still costly inappropriate web surfing or application downloads.

In short, while xSPs typically address and help enterprises manage one threat vector, another is left open. But adding a web filtering service to the broader solution provides the enterprise customer with an added and very necessary layer of security.
