Software602 Simplifies Web Content Filtering in the Workplace and Schools
JACKSONVILLE, FL - Software602, Inc. announced today the release of a new, updated version of 602LAN SUITE, the popular all-in-one network software suite. This new update features a greatly improved proxy server with integrated PureSight technology, the next generation in web content filtering.
Internet web browsing creates a daily challenge for any organization. Objectionable and productivity-robbing web content is a problem every organization must face. The legal liability from employee exposure to objectionable content is an increasing problem as well. Public libraries and schools concerned with meeting CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act) requirements are in need of an easy way to filter inappropriate web content.
Software602 has addressed these challenges in their latest version of its flagship 602LAN SUITE product. Unlike conventional website filtering solutions that focus on a keyword blacklist or a database of objectionable web pages, the integrated PureSight engine uses proprietary Artificial Content Recognition (ACR) technology to accurately determine the content of a web page. The ACR analyzes the text of the page within the context of the page itself against the organization’s acceptable use policies; this strategy reduces “false positives” that result when objectionable keywords or images appear on an otherwise acceptable page. This process is fully automated and does not require daily updates that are common in database driven solutions.
“The 602LAN SUITE Content Filter presents a new way of filtering web content through a series of intelligent algorithms,” said Premysl Pech, President of Software602. “Only a ’smart’ filter can effectively compete with the exponential growth of Internet content.”
The 602LAN SUITE Content Filter will automatically classify web content into over 20 different categories, such as: Sex, Gambling, Violence, Drugs, Shopping, Sports, and more. A URL Whitelist and Blacklist provide an easy way to customize the solution for any organization. A 24/7-time schedule lets the filter process rules during certain hours or days to provide flexibility in Internet policy enforcement. Support for the industry standard ICRA (RSACi) PICS and SurfSafe rating system provides appropriate labeling of the web page by the author.
Pricing
The 602LAN SUITE Content Filter is available as an optional, add-on component to 602LAN SUITE, the secure mail server with anti-virus & anti-spam, built-in firewall with NAT and proxy for controlled Internet sharing. Pricing ranges from $99.95 for five-users to $1,299.95 for unlimited users. A yearly subscription is not required, making this a sound network investment for any organization.
