Blue Coat enables organizations to keep "good" employees from doing "bad" things on the internet. Blue Coat wire-speed proxy appliances provide total 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 peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing and video streaming. Trusted by many of the world's most influential organizations, Blue Coat has shipped more than 18,000 proxy appliances worldwide.
