Anti-spyware at the Gateway

djmg2 · 2006-03-07T11:47:36+00:00

I am after a bit of information regarding anti-spyware. We run McAfeeA/V on the desktops and servers here as well as Groupshield. We alsorun Mailsweeper and Websense. I now need to look at anti-spyware. Wehave approx 300 computers / users to protect.I know there are a lot of products out there. What is the best solutionfor protecting against spyware at the gateway? Or is it inevitable thatI will need some antispyware running on the desktops (to eliminatespyware which may already be present on PCs).A brief Google has flagged up the following:Black Spider - but this is a managed service (I would prefer in-housecontrol)Blue Coat - proxy applianceSurf Control - agent on desktopTrend Micro - agent based solutionMcAfee - agent based?Barracuda - appliance at the gatewayWe do occasionally use Lavasoft Ad-aware to eliminate problems when weknow there is spyware. We have a licensed copy of this (it is not freeto commercial users).Any help? I know I haven't provided too much info... I didn't knowwhat level of detail to go into, in this initial post.Thanks in anticipation.Mat GBirmingham, UK
