8e6 Technologies' Filtering and Reporting Solutions Named "Best Buy" by SC Magazine.

R3000 Filter and Enterprise Reporter 4.0 Receive Publication's Highest Rating in Competitive Web Filtering Review

ORANGE, Calif. -- 8e6 Technologies, a security company dedicated to Internet filtering and reporting, today announced that SC Magazine awarded 8e6 Technologies' R3000 Internet Filter and Enterprise Reporter 4.0 a "Best Buy" in the magazine's February 2007 competitive review. The evaluation, which examined solutions from 10 Internet filtering vendors, declared 8e6 Technologies' solution the best among its competitors.

SC Magazine's competitive reviews examine products in a specific market segment and evaluate the solutions across a number of categories. The publication's "Best Buy" Award is the top reviews award and goes to one product in each review that is rated outstanding across a range of criteria. In the "Web Content Filtering" review, 8e6 Technologies' solutions received five stars in every category tested: features, ease of use, performance, documentation, support and value for money. During their testing, SC Magazine was unable to find a single weakness associated with the products, further validating 8e6 Technologies' position as the leader in Internet filtering and reporting technology.

"The 8e6 R3000 and Enterprise Reporter 4.0 are excellent products," said Dr. Peter Stephenson, technology editor at SC Magazine. "Our engineers put 8e6's products through testing against its major competitors and 8e6 proved to have the best filtering and reporting solution of those we tested."

The R3000 is 8e6's flagship filtering solution, a standalone server appliance dedicated to monitoring and filtering Internet access with its unique "pass-by technology," which allows for stability, scalability and performance without compromising other server or network functions. The R3000 is highly flexible, and unlike other filters on the market, 8e6's filter enables proxy pattern blocking, a unique method of blocking all user attempts to bypass the filter via the Web's many anonymous proxy sites.

The Enterprise Reporter is 8e6's robust forensic Internet reporting solution that allows organizations to monitor threats coming from within their organizations. The Enterprise Reporter is the only dedicated appliance to process and display Internet filtering logs without compromising filtering speed or performance, or impacting network functions. It processes and generates customized or standardized reports in a fraction of the time of competitive products. Combined, the R3000 and Enterprise Reporter are unquestionably the fastest, most flexible Internet filtering and reporting solutions available today.

"It is a tremendous honor to be selected as SC Magazine's 'Best Buy' for Web content filtering, and it showcases our ongoing dedication to providing our customers with the best filtering and reporting options available," said Paul Myer, president and COO of 8e6 Technologies. "We owe our products' success in part to our customers and partners, whose honest feedback has been instrumental in helping us develop our industry-leading security appliances. We will continue to focus on our customers' evolving needs and deliver solutions that are easy to deploy and maintain, cost effective and of the highest possible quality."
