Internet Filtering

The 8e6 Professional Edition offers high-performance, enterprise-level filtering with the R3000 Internet Filter. An appliance optimized for speed and scalability, the R3000 provides 90+ categories and millions of Web sites in the 8e6 Database. Deployed in "pass-by" or transparent mode, the R3000 sits outside the flow of network traffic to "watch" rather than "stop and check", delivering unmatched network compatibility and performance.

Benefits:
  • Improves productivity by eliminating time wasted on unauthorized Web sites, Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications.
  • Mitigates filtering and reporting issues and frees up IT management for mission-critical projects.
  • Provides management with tools to enforce an organization's Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Complies with filter-enforcing laws such as CIPA, HIPAA, and Sarbanes-Oxley.
  • Protects against damaging and costly legal liabilities due to exposure to inappropriate or offensive Web content.
  • Secure confidential information against spyware, phishing agents and peer-to-peer transfers.
  • Controls access to bandwidth-intensive sites.
Product Features:
  • Filters the Internet: Includes URLs and/or IP addresses, file types (e.g. MP3, MPEG, zip), HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Newsgroups (NNTP), and TCP Ports.

  • Blocks Internet Threats: Including spyware, malicious code and phishing sites.

  • Blocks Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer: Utilizes 8e6's Intelligent Footprint Technology (IFT) to block IM and P2P servers by signature or pattern.

  • Real-Time Probes: Allow administrators to monitor user Internet activity as it happens.

  • "X-Strikes" Blocking: Locks down a user's workstation when administrator-defined thresholds for accessing inappropriate Web sites are exceeded.

  • Proxy Pattern Blocking: Blocks anonymous proxies using signature-based/network pattern detection.

  • Google Yahoo! SafeSearch Enforcement: Forces the SafeSearch mode "on" for all searches, including images within Google or Yahoo! search engines.

  • Customer Feedback Module: Sends frequent, non-categorized URLs from participating customers back to 8e6 on a daily basis. Selected URLs are reviewed and added to 8e6's standard library categories.

  • Synchronization Central Management Console (SCMC): Allows administrators to synchronize and manage multiple R3000s without independently configuring each unit.

  • Directory-based Authentication: Utilizes directories such as Windows Active Directory, Windows NT and LDAP.
