Challenges
As enterprises become more and more dependent upon networks, Internet has also brought upon enterprises unprecedented compound risks and threats, such as inefficiency of employee performance, leakage of the important information, the abuse of network bandwidth, the spread of the sensitive information which could cause the risk of national defense. These risk and threats could result in a huge economical loss and network information security risks for enterprises.

Product Positioning
With its in-depth intelligent content analysis and protocol recognition and analysis technology, NSFOCUS SCM helps enterprise to:

• Accurately filter websites that contain inappropriate contents and high risks, so as to purify the enterprise’s network environment.
• Regulate employee Internet Behaviors and increase work efficiency.
• Standardize the management of information publishing to avoid the leakage of sensitive information.
• Rationalize the allocation of the network bandwidth to ensure the smooth operation of the key business.

• In-depth Intelligent Content Filtering
  NSFOCUS SCM is equipped with the leading database for web filtering, including more than 10 millions URLs. It can classify the filtering by categories and perform complete, accurate, and efficient filtering for inappropriate websites and the website of high risks; it also supports customized key words, by which it can perform accurate detecting, filtering, alarming, and recording for the content of a web page, search engines, emails, BBS, and the IM applications, thus to perform the in-depth content security management.
• Complete Internet Behavior management
  Adopting the leading protocol recognition and intelligent correlation technology, NSFOCUS SCM provides the function of user authentication and manages in multi-dimensions user Internet behaviors, network application behaviors, and business operation behaviors.
• Complete Information Publishing Management
  NSFOCUS SCM is equipped with flexible functions for information publishing; it supports multi-condition combinations based on content key words, behaviors, time, and users and enables the complete information publishing management for receiving and sending of emails (Webmail, SMTP, POP3), BBS, IM, file uploading and downloading (HTTP, FTP), and etc, and provides the functions such as instant alarm, disconnecting, information restoration, and information leaking.
• Granular and Multi-dimensional Network Traffic Management
  SCM supports even more accurate traffic management based on protocol recognition, including protocols for P2P and online video. By manipulating the 4 modules for traffic control: protocols/ports (the global dimension), source/target IP address and subnet (the local dimension), time (the time dimension), the bandwidth (the traffic dimension), SCM can execute traffic protection policies based on contents and targets; rationalize the allocation of bandwidth, thus, to guarantee the critical business operation.
• Easy and Flexible Extensibility
  SCM supports multi-channel security content management, exercising management by different business zones and different networks, just like that you were using two SCM appliances, each is independent of the other, one is for in-coming traffic, the other for outgoing traffic, so as to satisfy the needs for various kinds of network deployment.
  

SCM supports two types of deployment options: in-line mode or bypass mode. The two different modes can satisfy the needs of various networks, allowing the system to be deployed timely and with flexibility in various networks.
