Web Security Service Admin Guide Overview

The Web Security Service (WSS) provides centralized management through a web-based portal. The anti-malware controls work in concert with a tamperproof, lightweight Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) agent that is simple to deploy to users anywhere. The agent intelligently negotiates WiFi hotspots, minimizing the need for IT to support remote users.

The Web Security Service further optimizes web browsing through global load-balancing traffic via the nearest data center, as well as on-the-fly page compression. The result is a highly responsive web experience even on low-bandwidth connections.
