We simulate user behavior

SiteScout SiteFlow™ assessment system mimics the behavior of real people using the Web. Our technology goes places and performs actions that traditional Web crawlers can't, including:

• Automating software installation
• Filling out Web registration forms
• Clicking through JavaScript-constructed links

We run a battery of assessment tests

The SiteFlow system uses a wide variety of signature-, behavioral-, and remnant-based assessment techniques and expands its coverage by introducing new assessments regularly. Our tests include:

• SiteScout proprietary static binary analysis and run-time analysis
• Commercial scanners
• Open source tools
• Other proprietary assessment techniques and signature databases

Each Web site rating that SiteScout produces is supported by a large volume of evidence extracted from the site's Web pages, downloads, videos, and other content and practices.

We provide flexible delivery to our partners

The SiteScout platform produces a database that can be delivered and consumed in a number of ways, including:

• Access to a simple Web service
• A local database on your product that is updated multiple times a day
• A data feed
• Full-service custom solutions

We offer proactive user protection

When used on a desktop, before a user visits a suspect Web site, a warning page appears. As users browse, a toolbar button changes color to indicate site safety. Search engine results are overlaid with indicators showing whether sites are safe to visit or not. All these indicators are fully partner-brandable.
