SAV Scanning - HTTP(S) and SSL

DarkDreams

Hi all

My search skills are failing me - can anyone please help?

I'm looking for some Sophos documentation on what/how HTTP/HTTPS and SSL traffic is scanned by Sophos Anti-Virus.  We are currently being audited for network security and I'm struggling to write up much about the protection offered by Sophos regarding such scanning.

TIA!

    Hello DarkDreams,

    there used to be some description bit I too no longer can't find it. Web protection is implemented as LSP and has two functions which can be independently selected: Block access to malicious websites (and Web Control) looks up the URL's/IP's classification and if it's deemed unsafe (or inappropriate in case of Web Control) access is blocked (and if necessary the content replaced by an appropriate error/warning page). Download (content) scanning is done for HTTP only.
