Hosted Web Security
Hosted web security is an off-site web solution which usually includes malware scanning as well as URL filtering based in datacenters owned by the provider. Normally clients will be directed to the solution providers proxy address to enable the serive and it is all managed from a hosted web console.
These solutions prove extremely useful for organisations who wish to save bandwidth, offload the processing to an external provider or have a large mobile workforce. Regardless of a whether a user is on or off the corporate network the same filtering rules can be applied.
