Product Overview
Protect Your Small Business from Dangerous Websites
As today's companies do more business over the Internet, the need for safe, productive web use is greater than ever. A growing number of threats come from websites that host malicious software, viruses, or phishing schemes. Additionally, employees may lose productivity by spending time browsing through non-work-related websites. Internet bandwidth is wasted on unnecessary file transfer and storage. Compromised security can make systems unavailable, require time to fix, and even expose your company to legal liability issues.

Powered by Trend Micro, the leader in gateway secure content management, ProtectLink Web is a hosted service that runs on select Cisco Small Business security appliances and routers.
