ProxySG Appliances Provide Visibility into Web Content and Protect Against Malicious Content
Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCSI), the technology leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced that Korea’s National Health Insurance Corporation (NHIC) has deployed Blue Coat(R) ProxySG(R) appliances to enforce consistent corporate IT policies across the distributed organization and protect against Web-based malicious content.
“NHIC handles sensitive personal health information, so a robust security solution that allows us to enforce our IT policy for all applications and traffic is essential,” said Hwang Sang-Gu, manager of National Health Insurance Corporation.
“With Blue Coat ProxySG appliances, we gain visibility into Web applications and content crossing our Internet gateway, allowing us to better protect the confidentiality of our patients and prevent malicious content that can be introduced through Web use from spreading through our system.” .
As the national health organization of Korea, NHIC is subject to regulations protecting patient confidentiality and any security breach could be damaging to both the organization’s reputation as well as public confidence in it. NHIC deployed Blue Coat ProxySG appliances to ensure the privacy of confidential personal information through the use of internal and Web-based applications by employees and patients.
Blue Coat ProxySG appliances enable NHIC to securely control employee access to internal applications and patient access to Web-based applications that are utilized for scheduling appointments, managing prescriptions and viewing test results. With the ability to inspect SSL-encrypted traffic, ProxySG appliances can also apply consistent IT policies to applications that would otherwise be obscured from inspection and policy enforcement.
“Web use can open a door through which spyware or malicious applications can enter and sensitive information can exit,” said William Tan, Regional Country Manager, Thailand and Vietnam, Blue Coat Systems. “Blue Coat ProxySG appliances help organizations like NHIC see and secure Web-based activity to ensure compliance with regulations and policies.”
Together with WAN optimization, visibility and security are fundamental technologies in the Blue Coat Application Delivery Network Infrastructure that is designed to optimize and secure the flow of information to users across the distributed enterprise.
