Web security
Stay a step ahead of attackers by identifying vulnerabilities in your software and operating systems before they are exploited. Webroot is the only Web Security Service to include this powerful, extra layer of protection. Scan endpoints directly from the Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) to identify known vulnerabilities including operating systems, browser versions, media players, office programs, and other installed software. The service also detects over 3500 types of common spyware infections that can compromise your corporate data.
Vulnerability Scanner
Today’s web-based malware is commonly spread by exploiting known software and operating system vulnerabilities. Webroot Web Security Service helps you reduce risk by identifying these vulnerabilities before an attacker does. In less than 15 seconds, the Webroot service can run more than 400 tests to find known vulnerabilities on a machine’s software, browsers, operating systems, and more. Immediately view searchable test results that identify the risk severity.
Spyware Detection
Quickly detect more than 3500 types of common spyware infections that could put your corporate data at risk, such as malicious Trojans and keyloggers. In addition to monitoring outbound traffic from a system, Webroot now automatically analyzes the processes running on the user’s computer. Spyware detection is integrated into the vulnerability scanner, so you’ll receive a detailed spyware and vulnerability assessment for each machine tested.
Simplified Management
With scans configured directly from the Policies tab of the Web Security Service Management Portal, the Webroot scanner saves you the time and hassle of managing a separate vulnerability scanner. Schedule weekly or monthly scans, or run immediate scans at any time. View results on the new Scan Results tab in the Management Portal. You can search and sort by machine, user, type of scan and number of out each machine or threat.
Fast Performance
The scanner’s installer is only 1.7 MB, keeping the DWP lightweight yet powerful. Scans take less than 15 seconds to run, with a complete analysis performed in the cloud. The scanner focuses on the programs most susceptible to malicious attacks, providing an extra layer of endpoint defense without impacting machine performance or hindering user productivity. Process information is uploaded to the cloud, where Webroot identifies vulnerabilities and centralises results in a Web-based management portal.
