      This new endpoint management software combines with Blue Coats network performance and security management appliances to allow mobile workers to use Blue Coats wide-area network application performance and security from any location, such as an employees home PC, Internet kiosks in airports or hotels or computers in partner organizations, across the distributed enterprise.

      “Organizations have been able to control application performance and security inside their own networks, but once users are outside, they have been beyond the reach of control,” said Steve Mullaney, vice president of worldwide marketing for Blue Coat Systems, in a company statement.

      “With Blue Coat SG Client, organizations will be able to seamlessly extend application security and performance to remote employees everywhere.”

      • Extends policy-based application security and acceleration to all users no matter where a user is located
      • Provides users with levels of security and control
      • Accelerates a wide variety of business and critical application traffic with Blue Coats patent-pending MACH5 application acceleration technology
      • Gives users end-to-end application delivery, which allows users to secure their information, protect their information and computer from spyware and other forms of malware
