Key Business Benefits

• Rapidly improve productivity by limiting personal and non-business Web browsing to outside working hours based on flexible filtering rules.

• Comply with CIPA, HIPAA and the UK Pornography Laws and other guidelines to reduce business risk and liability.

• Improve network security by eliminating the risk of Web borne threats, such as viruses, malware, spyware and phishing sites.

• Improve network performance by regulating bandwidth, restricting unnecessary content types and utilising an on-disk web cache.

Enterprise Class Content Filtering

• Powerful and intelligent real time raters detect unknown sites and are trained to filter web content ranging from Alcohol and Gambling through to Pornography and Violence in multiple languages.

• The comprehensive Category Server contains over 65,000,000 known Web sites categorised into over 70 categories.
• Included as standard is the Active Image Control image filter which inspects over 13 different image formats for unsuitable and offensive content, replacing suspect images with a safe symbol.

• Available as an optional extra - Malware Protection. This extension to the Category Server adds millions of web sites and files with an indication as to whether they are clean or are known to contain malware. This extremely fast way of detecting malware is based on discovering, downloading and testing every Windows executable found on the Internet by using a behaviour analysis system which installs each program to determine whether it contains malware. The resulting list of URLs is added to the Category Server on a daily basis.

• Available as an optional extra - Phishing Prevention. This extension to the Category Server adds the Anti-Phishing Working Group's list of known phishing sites to CensorNet Professional. This extra protection helps remove the risk of users divulging confidential information in response to e-mail scams and counterfeit web sites.

• Decrypt and filter secure SSL/HTTPS web sites on-the-fly to protect against encrypted threats such as anonymous proxies - a technique used to bypass traditional Web filtering systems.

• Automatically enforce safe searching on leading search engines such as Google, YouTube, Yahoo! and Bing.

Easy Implementation

• Download & Go using our self-installation Linux software, a virtual appliance for VMware or order one of our Dell® powered hardware appliances.

• Quickly configure authentication for a number of network environments, including Active Directory, Windows NT, Samba, E-Directory (NDS) or LDAP.

• Simply synchronise CensorNet™ with your Active Directory OU structure or import users using a variety of simple tools.
