MicroWorld Winsock Layer (MWL) Technology
|
|
Overview
The MicroWorld Winsock Layer technology is a revolutionary technology that resides on the Winsock Layer of the operating system and scans all the incoming and outgoing traffic from the Internet and checks for any security violating content. If the data packet is clean it is passed or else it is removed before it reaches the application layer.
Without MicroWorld WinSock Layer (MWL)
All incoming and outgoing mails, pass through the WinSock Layer at the server level and the client level.
With MicroWorld WinSock Layer (MWL)
MWL sits on WinSock. All content passing through WinSock has to mandatorily pass through MWL, where it is checked for any security violating data. If such data occurs, it is removed and the clean data is passed on to the application.
