What do you use for Web security?
Hello,
We have had various web security gateways in the past and are not a huge company by all means 700-800 staff from various locations that come back to a datacenter for internet access. This is currently filtered by a 3rd party software sitting on a stand alone server and I'm wondering what others are using as our warranty is up and the reporting isn't great so we'd like to weigh the options and see what others recommend?

We use an IronPort for Spam and Virus filtering. We also use a Cisco ASA for our Firewall and VPN access. So far both have been fantastic products.

I thought Blue Coat did WAN optimization?
Blue Coat does way more than just that - they are a forerunner in Web Security and Web Filtering as well.
ASKER
So they have seperate products as we already have WAN optimization we can still get a security appliance? Does it allow for filtering as in not allowing different groups of users to categories of sites and run reporting?
yes, the newer Blue Coat product does. complete web filtering, url access/denial, link denial within specified URLs- such as links within facebook etc. the reporting I am not sure of but i would think they have it.
another option would be Marshall86 (otherwise know as M86). This product has URL blocking as well as site visit logging.
