8e6 Technologies Partners with CDW-G to Deliver Best-in-Class Security Solutions for K-12.

Leading IT Solution Provider to Integrate 8e6's Robust Web Filtering, Reporting and Proxy-Blocking Technologies for Maintaining a Safe Learning Environment

ORANGE, Calif. -- 8e6 Technologies, the leader in Internet filtering and reporting for the K-12 market, today announced an extensive partnership with CDW Government, Inc. (CDW-G), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDW Corporation and the industry's leading source of technology solutions to governments and educators. Under the terms of the agreement, CDW-G will now offer 8e6 Technologies' award-winning Internet filtering, reporting and proxy-blocking appliances as part of an overall cyber security solution. This combined offering, including a stand-alone proxy-blocking appliance, will provide the highest level of protection available to an increasingly Internet-based learning environment.

According to the 2007 CDW-G K-12 School Safety Index, 95 percent of school districts claim to block or limit Web site access, yet only 81 percent say they monitor student Internet activity. And, while most districts have implemented some level of Internet filtering and monitoring, many are not adequately equipped to keep up with the daily emergence of new threats, including the prolific use of Web-based proxies--the greatest danger to a secure learning environment.

"8e6 has spent the last decade learning about the risks of Internet-based learning and working to stay one step ahead of tomorrow's threats, becoming the industry leader in Internet filtering and monitoring in education," said Paul Myer, president and COO of 8e6 Technologies. "Our partnership with CDW-G was the next obvious step for 8e6, allowing us to combine our vast experience in the market and extend our reach to the nation's largest school districts. Together, we will continue technology innovation, providing cost-effective, reliable solutions that keep up with the rapid advancements in online learning programs."

CDW-G will now offer 8e6 Technologies' solutions as part of their various K-12 cyber security packages. Customers can choose between three 8e6 offerings: the 8e6 Professional Edition includes the company's award-winning Internet filtering, proxy pattern detection, forensic reporting, and real-time reporting and remediation; the 8e6 Standard Edition includes Internet filtering, proxy pattern detection and forensic reporting; and the 8e6 ProxyBlocker, a solution designed to work with any existing Internet filtering solution to specifically address the growing proxy problem in schools. By allowing each district to custom-configure its own solution, CDW-G enables districts of all sizes to comply with CIPA and e-Rate funding requirements within their own unique network environment.

"Both CDW-G and 8e6 strive to provide school districts of all sizes and configurations with the necessary tools to maintain a safe, secure learning environment," said Bob Kirby, senior director, K-12 education, CDW-G. "8e6 Technologies focuses heavily on the education market and develops K-12 specific product features and functionality - thereby making 8e6 Technologies a natural fit for CDW-G. The combined forces of our sales and support teams will maximize our impact on the education security market nationwide."
