Software602 To Enhance 602LAN SUITE With Advanced PureSight Web Content Filtering
JACKSONVILLE, FL and SAN CLEMENTE, CA - Software602, Inc., a leading provider of all-in-one productivity software for business use, and PureSight, Inc., developers of PureSight, the next generation Internet Content Filtering solution, today announced that Software602 has signed a licensing agreement that will allow PureSight content filtering technology to be incorporated in 602LAN SUITE, Software602’s popular all-in-one network software suite. Using PureSight, 602LAN SUITE will give businesses, schools, libraries and other organizations unparalleled accuracy when enforcing website content access rules.
“Everyone relies on access to web-based content on the Internet”, said Premysl Pech, CEO of Software602, Inc. “Questionable content is easily accessible and we are determined to bring an affordable solution that any education institution or business can easily implement and gain immediate results. Our research department tested many database driven solutions against the PureSight dynamic filtering technology, and found it better able to adapt to constantly changing Internet content.”
Unlike conventional website filtering strategies that focus on blacklisted keywords or databases of objectionable web pages, PureSight uses proprietary Artificial Content Recognition (ACR) technology to intelligently determine the content of a particular website. ACR analyzes the text of the web page within the context of the web page itself against the organization’s acceptable use policies; this strategy eliminates the possibility of “false positives” that result when objectionable keywords or images appear on otherwise acceptable pages.
“Many states have enacted Internet filtering laws that apply to local schools and libraries. Studies have also shown that businesses that do not impose restrictions on access to objectionable websites experience a loss in employee productivity,” noted Cleve Adams, CEO of PureSight Inc. “PureSight is pleased to help users of 602LAN SUITE, one of the most comprehensive integrated Internet software suites, comply with the legal and operational mandates that are a necessary part of modern organizational web access.”
602LAN SUITE is the ultimate one-stop application for Small-to-Midsized Businesses (SMBs) wishing to gain email, anti-virus, anti-spam, fax, firewall, NAT (Network Access Translation) routing and proxy for controlled Internet sharing and much more, all using a single Internet account. By including a full complement of Internet protection and productivity features in a single solution, organizations can realize a significant return on investment, making 602LAN SUITE a highly affordable and cost effective network component.
In addition to its other user protection features, 602LAN SUITE features a Bayesian spam filter that “learns” over time. Email attachment filters eliminate harmful or objectionable material from entering networks, while the West Coast Lab and ICSA-certified BitDefender anti-virus engine provides integrated protection against worms, Trojans, and other virus infiltration.
602LAN SUITE is currently deployed on over 120,000 Internet servers, in thousands of organizations worldwide. The application is an effective and recognized solution for any school, educational institution, or community organization facing compliance with Internet filtering laws.
602LAN SUITE with PureSight Content Filter technology will be available to both existing and new users of 602LAN SUITE beginning in early December. For more information or a free download of 602LAN SUITE, visit www.software602.com/products/ls/.
