The Secure Content Management Appliance is a hardware/software appliance that provides a security solution for Internet and email services. Through a series of security scanning, alert and configured actions and content filtering options, the SCM appliance protects users and company IT resources from a variety of internet and email threats. Threats and resource liabilities such as viruses, spyware, spam and phishing attempts are identified and systematically blocked from protected IT resources. In addition, content filtering allows Administrators to assure that inappropriate content or bandwidth usage is actively thwarted, further protecting the business from unnecessary costs or litigation.
\r\nVarious hardware scalability options are available to tailor the SCM software solution to throughput requirements based on the size of the Enterprise and number of users. For small to medium sized businesses, up to 1000 users, the SCM solution is implemented as the Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) Appliance. This consolidated solution includes Internet and email protection in a single appliance. For larger businesses, the SCM functionality is deployed as the Secure Web Gateway (SWG) Appliance, offering Internet Security features, and the Secure Messaging Gateway (SMG) Appliance, providing email protection features. The McAfee SCM Appliance utilizes the same software suite regardless of the hardware platform selected.
