More and more of the web is two-way published content of text, images and video. The days of single web page loads and a URL rating for a site or page are evaporating. Now sites have multiple feeds, often with real-time content, search string variables from the user or cookies, plus user authenticated content. Often referred to as Web 2.0, this display of wide array of content based on user authentication presents specific challenges to IT administrators trying to implement a Secure Web Gateway solution in the form of a proxy.
In a proxy solution, real-time rating services help by rating the entire URL (URL + parameters supplied to the web site) for complex web sites. Blue Coat Systems has DRTR, a real-time rating service which they claim provides a 7-8% coverage benefit over a static URL database coverage percentage. Blue Coat expects this to increase as Web 2.0 content continues to expand. URL databases are moving to hybrid solutions that provides hidden malware host detection, real-time cloud services, local real-time rating services and traditional ratings. Make sure your proxy supports these latest features.
