Reporting and Compliance

What dashboards and reports do you have in place to analyze web gateway traffic? How do you analyze trends? How do you provide governance and compliance to remote users? Increases in remote users and desktops? How important are dashboards, role based management, or pushing ownership for adherence out to the business organizations? What concerns do you have about sensitive information leaking beyond the corporate perimeter? What concerns do you have about protecting customer information and confidentiality? How do you assess risk for litigation, loss of revenue, and damage to corporate reputation?

Data Loss Prevention

When to qualify closely...


Generic is OK believes generation 1.0 defenses are OK, trusts the web, oblivious to malware Small office(s) overburdened IT person, do not desire enterprise-class features in web gateway Shopping on price Even if the solution was free, would you install it on your network?

Managing Objections
Blue Coat is not a security vendor/threat lab. How can you protect my network? Blue Coat is an expert on web gateways, web protocols and web content. We run the largest realtime web defense with over 75M users, 300+ real-time rating libraries, real-time and background threat analysis, call-home (botnet) analysis, and real-time phishing detection. Broadband Testing and AVTest.org provides scores of our web gateway defense leadership. Blue Coat is not investing in security. What is the future direction of your company? Gartner Group notes that Blue Coat has the largest development organization for secure web gateway technologies. Blue Coat also just announced a new Security SaaS leveraging its leading WebPulse threat detection and web rating technologies, plus reporting and policy controls unmatched by the competition. Performance levels have increased 2X with OS and HW updates. Why does the Blue Coat solution cost more than the competition? Justify the extra expense. Gartner Group notes that WebFilter is one of the least expensive web filtering solutions and it includes the WebPulse real-time web defense, ProxyClient and K9 for home use by employees. Competitors often bid one year of subscription services, omit or lack key defense layers, under estimate the number of appliances for production. Blue Coat appliances have a minimum of five years of service.

Top 3 Differentiators to Position


Real-Time Web Defense Real-time inputs and web ratings (75M users, 300+ libraries) Real-time threat detection and background analysis Multiple cloud defenses for remote users where it is not feasible to have on-premise technology (not possible to deploy 17+ defenses on laptops) Layered defense that combines cloud defenses with in-line threat detection, web controls and data loss prevention Cloud Security Service for remote users or offices Real-time, Multi-lingual Web Ratings Identifies web threats that hide behind multi-lingual dynamic links (site-to-site) Accurate coverage of mashed-up web content (sports/ gambling) with multi-category ratings (up to 4) Keeps pace with the growth of web content and two way publishing capabilities (blogs, forums) with realtime machine ratings New web application and operation controls for social networking 100% In-line Threat Detection (Five AV engine choices) Provides more depth and breadth for threat analysis than desktop AV with in-line threat detection at the gateway (up to 2 GB files, 99 layers of compression) In-line threat detection defenses have five minute update cycles that are not practical for desktops Adds depth to defenses by deploying a different threat detection engine at the gateway verses the desktop Eliminates tradeoffs required for performance over security (analyze everything, avoid selective analysis)
