Blue Coat Mobile Internet Service Provider Content Security

Blue Coat enables Mobile Internet Service Providers (mISPs) to keep their subscribers protected from viewing or downloading inappropriate Mobile Internet Content. Blue Coat proxy appliances also provide control of mobile internet communications to address today's new business risks-such as inappropriate mobile web surfing, downloading mobile viruses and mobile network resource abuse due to peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, peer-to-peer VoIP international voice calls and video streaming.

Mobile Proxy Security - The Blue Coat Strategy

The Blue Coat Proxy SG family of proxy appliances provides total visibility and control of Mobile Internet communications with wire-speed performance. Based on Blue Coat SGOS ™, a custom, object-based operating system with integrated caching, these proxy appliances leverage existing authentication systems to enable flexible policy enforcement down to the individual mobile subscriber based on their MSISDN. The Proxy SG provides comprehensive proxy support of all Web protocols with integrated content filtering, instant messaging control, peer-to-peer (P2P) control, streaming control, pop-up ad blocking and virus scanning. Blue Coat's end-to-end product portfolio includes powerful reporting, policy and configuration management software, delivering a scalable proxy solution for centralised or distributed enterprise environments.
