Almost all companies today have a connection to the Internet that provides access to information on Web servers at partner and customer sites, as well as access to Web content at main offices from branch locations. A popular and powerful solution to the problems of secure Web access is a Web proxy. Web proxy devices help enable a company to control the flow of information moving over Web channels using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Secure HTTP (HTTPS), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application protocols. Web proxy servers act as intermediaries between client and server. This white paper explores how ISA Server 2006 provides enhanced security and application acceleration by acting as both forward and reverse Web proxy for the corporate network.
