Blue Coat® enables organisations to keep "good" employees from doing "bad" things on the Internet. Blue Coat proxy appliances provide visibility and control of Web communications to address today’s new business risks-such as inappropriate Web surfing, viruses brought in via back door channels such as instant messaging and Web-based email, and network resource abuse due to spyware, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing and video streaming. Trusted by many of the world’s most influential organisations, Blue Coat has shipped more than 18,000 proxy appliances worldwide.
