Steve Mullaney Major Quotations

Achieving the number one market position for proxy appliances represents a major milestone for Blue Coat and clearly shows the value and uniqueness of our solutions. Enterprises understand the growing need for a proxy platform that operates between users and Web applications, providing protection, control and acceleration of Web traffic. Our success comes from having a solution with a unique combination of flexible control and accelerated performance.

The SSL blind spot and wide open door of port 443 on the firewall is yet another example of why enterprises should not allow users to connect directly to the Internet without going through a proxy. The Internet brings tremendous value, but it can also be a cesspool, introducing significant security risks to the business. With our new SSL proxy functionality, Blue Coat can close a major security hole for enterprises.
