Benefits to IT Departments
As a network administrator you have lots of issues to deal with. You
need your web filtering solution to help make your job easier... not
more difficult. Here is how ContentProtect Education Edition makes
content filtering of your network trouble free:
Increase Productivity, Decrease Liability
Filter
or block any unwanted content that either creates a liability for your
organization (pornography, hate, etc.) or hurts productivity (shopping,
games, entertainment, etc.).
Dynamic Content Filtering
List-based
filters must constantly be updated to ensure protection.
ContentProtect's Dynamic Contextual based filtering engine analyzes
content on the fly-no need to rely on static URL lists. Create custom
URL lists for your employees.
Performance and Compatibility
ContentProtect
Education Edition uses the latest algorithms to optimize the users
Internet browsing experience. It avoids compatibility issues with other
third party applications (i.e. firewalls, spyware prevention tools,
antivirus tools).
Fully Customizable & Controllable
ContentProtect
Education Edition is highly customizable permitting Administrators to
create organization, group, or individual filtering settings for
employees, rather than forcing them into a "one size fits all" scenario
like some products do. ContentProtect Education Edition can be used as
configured right "out of the box" or can be customized for each
employee. ContentProtect Education Edition includes a "White/Black
List" allowing administrators to allow common websites or block
unwanted websites.
Rapid Deployment Tools
ContentProtect Education
Edition can be easily 'pushed' to computer workstations using Windows
2000 or Windows XP Active Directory or other push technologies. This
makes network wide deployment fast and easy.
LDAP Import Utility
Import users easily from
your LDAP Directory, making installation and the populating of the user
list easier and faster than you might expect.
Remote Management
The
Remote Management dashboard allows Administrators to view reports, make
changes to user's Internet policies, and permit or terminate Internet
access, all from a remote Internet connection. Administrator can also
receive email notifications when employees may be trying to access,
override, or in some way violate the user's Internet policy.
Integration With Popular Search Engines
ContentProtect
2.1 leverages "Safe Search", found in popular search engines such as
Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, AltaVista, Lycos, AllTheWeb, and MSN. This new
feature will increase protection against pornographic images.
Client Based
ContentWatch Professional is
installed on a computer workstation or notebook computer. This ensures
that whenever/wherever/however the user connects to the Internet, the
computer is being filtered. Because ContentWatch products are
client-based the filtering actually takes advantage of the client's
processing power rather than becoming a potential point of failure as
with server-based or appliance solutions. Small appliance and
server-based products cannot offer this same benefit.
Easy to Manage/Maintain
Because updates occur
automatically, and user Internet policies can be managed remotely,
management and maintenance is less expensive and time consuming than
server-based solutions, where IT staff must be allocated to manage and
maintain them. Maintenance and ongoing administration is a snap.
Reporting
ContentProtect
Education Edition provides the ability for Administrators to view
reports anywhere and at any time. Reports are stored in the
ContentWatch Data Center (CDC). Having data stored in the CDC permits
access to online reports from any Internet connection in the world.
Administrators can check on the Internet activity of their employees
from work or in a hotel room while traveling. Reporting includes logs
of IM traffic, bypass or disable attempts, and more.
Perfect for Mobile or Notebook Computer Users
Because
of its client-based architecture, ContentProtect Education Edition is a
perfect fit for mobile or notebook computer users. Regardless of how
the user connects to the Internet, filtering is present. Without a
client-based solution a user could simply bypass the corporate network
by using a wireless connection or simply plugging into an analog line
and using a personal dial-up service. This could even happen from the
employee's office, making server-based solutions easy to bypass.
Peer-to-Peer Management
ContentProtect allows
you to completely block P2P applications including: BitTorrent, Kazaa,
eMule/eDonkey, and Gnutella, which are commonly used to download
Illegal music, software, objectionable movies, images, etc. Note: P2P
applications will not be filtered, but can be completely blocked.
Block Internet Games
ContentProtect gives
Administrators the control to increase employee productivity by
disabling access to popular Internet Games and other applications.
Budget Friendly
ContentWatch products don't
require the expense of additional hardware (servers, gateways, routers,
proxy servers, etc.). Simply purchase the software and install on your
computers and begin filtering. Not to mention that ContentWatch
Professional usually pays for itself dozens of times over in
productivity gains and bandwidth savings alone.
Dramatically Increase Bandwidth
When
unproductive Internet traffic is blocked, it frees up significant
amounts of bandwidth for mission critical applications. That further
increases productivity, insures more bandwidth for mission critical
functions, and eliminates or delays the need to purchase additional
bandwidth.
Multi-Language Support
To increase Internet
protection ContentProtect now filters Internet content in multiple
languages. Our new interface is also available in Chinese with more
language packs available soon.
Automatic Updates
With
state-of-the-art technology, ContentWatch updates users with the latest
lists, definitions, and technology, as they become available. This
process can happen automatically or manually depending on the user
preference enabling the customer to have the most current version of
the software available.
Toll-free Technical Support
ContentWatch
is one of the only companies in the filtering industry that offers
toll-free customer support. The majority of calls are answered and
resolved within minutes. ContentWatch also offers email support with an
average response time of less than twenty-four hours.
Benefits to Library, School, and District Administrators
In your capacity as manager for your business or organization, you
have responsibilities to improve the productivity of your employees,
and to insure that they are provided a friendly work environment. Along
with the fantastic tools and efficiency that the Internet brings, it
also brings challenges with which every organization must deal.
ContentProtect Education Edition is the perfect solution that easily
and affordably helps you improve employee productivity while helping
insure a harassment free work environment. The benefits of
ContentProtect Education Edition:
Flexible Access Controls
Depending on your
organization, you may want to allow varying levels of access to
different types of sites, and Internet use. Libraries might allow more
liberal access than grade schools for example, based on their specific
policies. ContentProtect Education Edition is a perfect solution that
allows administrators to decide and control what types of sites and
traffic to allow or disallow. Many other filtering solutions don't
offer the same degree of control forcing your organization into a
"one-size-fits-all" solution.
Value
ContentProtect Education Edition doesn't
require the additional expense of additional hardware (servers,
gateways, routers, proxy servers, etc.). Simply purchase the software
and install on your computers and begin filtering. You or your IT
Department can install ContentProtect Education Edition across your
entire network in less than half an hour.
More Bandwidth for Mission Critical Applications
ContentProtect
Education Edition allows you to block major bandwidth hogging internet
use by employees like Peer-To-Peer downloading and streaming audio.
This frees up bandwidth that guarantees faster throughput for your
mission critical applications. It may even eliminate or delay the need
to purchase additional bandwidth. ContentProtect Education Edition
often pays for itself in bandwidth savings alone.
Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management
Schools
and other public organizations must sometimes comply with certain
regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GLBA, and SEC/SOx). Additionally, legal
liability risks around users downloading MP3's and full-length DVDs on
school or library hard drives are becoming a major concern. The
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture
Association of America recently warned corporations and similar
organizations will be held liable for breaking copyright laws if
employees or users use networks to download, store, or distribute music
or movies illegally (Source IDC). ContentProtect Education Edition
provides easy to install and maintain solutions that assist with
mitigation of similar risks, and aid in certain aspects of regulatory
compliance.
Reporting
ContentWatch provides the ability for
Administrators and/or Managers to view reports anywhere and at any
time. Reports are stored in the ContentWatch Data Center (CDC). Having
data stored in the CDC permits access to online reports from any
Internet connection in the world. Administrators can check on the
Internet activity of their users from work or even from a hotel room
while traveling. Reports include sites visited, attempted sites
visited, logs of Instant Messages and email, attempts to remove or
circumvent the filter, and more. Managers have actionable data to
better manage their network resources.
The Bottom Line: Content filtering is a wise and prudent decision
for any and every School, Library or public network. Learn more about
