Our Business is Supporting Your Business

The Internet has now become a necessary component of every business network.  However, with the increasing sophistication of hackers, threats such as viruses and the delivery of malicious code through web sites, IP spoofing, Trojan Horses, application layer attacks and denial of service attacks are now commonplace.

To protect your network from intruders, Alchemy supplies a range of security products and services (including anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall, intrusion detection appliances and VPN services) from world-renowned security specialists such as StreamShield, Check Point, Cisco and Network Associates.

StreamShield Protector - the world's first managed content security service for web and e-mail

Operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a team of content security experts, StreamShield Protector is a managed service that blocks web and e-mail threats in the Internet before the content reaches your network and compromises your business.

No additional hardware or software is required in your network - StreamShield Protector takes care of everything.  The managed service comprises:

• Site Blocker: web content filtering to block access to sites that fall outside of your company’s Internet usage policies.
• Virus Blocker: Prevents viruses entering your business through web and e-mail traffic
• Spam Blocker: industry leading spam technology

Traditional content security solutions - such as anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering started life as software products aimed at desktops, servers and corporate network appliances.

StreamShield Protector provides protection at the Internet level - so that threats are blocked before they can compromise your systems.

StreamShield's Site Blocker monitors employee web usage and blocks access to sites that fall outside of your company’s Internet policies.  Site Blocker uses the world’s best commercial website database with over six million entries that are frequently updated with the latest intelligence on the content of web sites to help make sure your Internet policies are continuously enforced.

You control what categories of sites are acceptable to your company, and any exceptions to the rules. The StreamShield Protector service takes care of the rest.

StreamShield's Virus Blocker provides internet-based anti-virus protection for web and e-mail, so that identified viruses do not reach your network and threaten your business. Virus Blocker incorporates:

• Multiple commercial virus scanners ensuring the best possible coverage against existing virus threats
• An Internet-based virus database that is constantly updated as new virus threats emerge, avoiding the update delay of traditional PC-based scanners. 
• Heuristics technology that looks for suspicious and unusual content patterns to identify and block unknown and newly emerging virus threats in web and e-mail traffic.

In the case of e-mail, both in-bound and outbound messages are scanned to prevent any of your users inadvertently sending infected content to your important customers and suppliers, resulting in damaged business relations.

StreamShield's Spam Blocker stops unwanted e-mails in the Internet before they clog-up your e-mail servers and your users´ inboxes, wasting valuable storage space and lowering employee productivity.

Spam Blocker incorporates the latest techniques for identifying spam messages including Bayesian statistics, blacklists and rule based filters.  As an Internet-based spam scanning system, you benefit from advanced scanning techniques that spot unusual traffic patterns across large volumes of messages – something that is impossible for most individual companies to do themselves.

And as you would expect from any premier anti-spam service, StreamShield Protector allows you to configure the service features to meet your exact requirements.
