• The security you need, the performance you require. Fast, full-spectrum protection against spyware, viruses, phishing, malware and unwanted content allowing safe and productive web browsing. Our award-winning detection engine delivers a safe and seamless user experience. We are the first vendor to scan and analyze billions of webpages, and uncover and block over 25,000 new malicious sites every day.
  
• Detect zero-day threats before they execute. Sophos Behavioural Genotype® Protection is a Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that monitors code on a computer. Unlike others which only monitor running code, Sophos Behavioural Genotype Protection identifies and blocks malicious programs before execution.
• Easy reporting and control. Reporting on suspect machines, security and content filtering performance by user means greater insight and control over web traffic and its impact on your organization. The easy to use web-based management console delivers unrivalled insight and control, presenting all vital system statistics on a single page. Integrating with Active Directory and Exchange, the WS1000 has quick and easy access control and policy deployment.
  
• Proactive heartbeat monitoring. We listen for connection failures to ensure every WS1000 continuously receives protection updates, and we'll contact you to initiate resolution of any problems. You can get extra help from our highly trained technical staff with on-demand remote assistance via a secure connection.
• Powered by SophosLabs™. Our global network of threat detection labs constantly analyzes a database of billions of web pages, uncovering thousands of new malicious URLs every day. We update Sophos appliances with protection against these new and emerging threats every 5 minutes.
