As Web 2.0 shapes the basis for today's generation of internet browsing, portal interaction, social networks, Web-based messaging, and other content and program rich sites, organizations are now also adopting Web 2.0 technologies for legitimate business reasons. The business benefits of using Web 2.0 technologies with customers, partners and employees are extensive, but so too are the risks and threats. The introduction of Web 2.0 has opened the flood-gates to new vulnerabilities, malicious code, compromised networks, phishing attacks, spyware, inappropriate content, and data leakage. Web 2.0 is interactive and collaborative, and is now the primary infection point for malware or malicious code, and increasing in volume by 40% annually. The Analyst community reports that over 75% of enterprises are infected with spyware and malware - and malicious code is contained in 32% of the Web.

And if the real-time connection and interaction with potential threats is not enough, the Web is a massive security and privacy gap for data leakage. With the popularity and business uses of social networks, wikis, blogs, portals, Web-based mail, and other content exchanges and postings, data loss prevention is a key issue that many organizations are susceptible to with the potential for employees, intentionally or accidentally to leak content into the internet that may cause financial and HR liabilities, confidentiality breaches, non-compliance, privacy issues and other risks. Clearly, organizations of all sizes must adopt and advance their Web security for protecting the network from inbound threats of viruses, malware, spyware, and other hazards to preventing data from leaking out of the network with a scalable, high-performing solution that is purposely-built to manage real-time data flows. This is why and how the BorderWare Security Platform for Web Security was architected - as a content security Web gateway to protect the inbound Web traffic and prevent data leakage from the outbound traffic.
