Company Survey Shows That Traditional Systems Do Not Meet Current

Demands of Today's Businesses

In a world where technological efficiency is essential, Cerberian is helping the Internet filtering industry move into the next generation of products by offering more effective technology in a smaller, less expensive and integrated package.

According to a survey of 75 key customers and partners of Cerberian, Inc., businesses want Internet filtering and monitoring solutions that integrate with their existing gateway or network devices. Rather than pay for and manage additional hardware and software on their networks, their mantra has become "co-op, don't adopt." Therefore, gateway device manufacturers and service providers have anxiously tried to integrate Internet filtering technology into their products and service. Unfortunately, most companies have not found a technology solution that effectively fits within the minimal space requirements reserved on their devices for such applications.

The good news is that their search is over.

Cerberian has developed an Internet filtering technology that meets the requirements and demands of both users and technology providers. "Cerberian's Internet Manager has been uniquely designed to provide a value-added service that is easily integrated into any existing firewall, caching device or network appliance," states Jeff Smith, CEO of Cerberian, Inc. "Because it is unobtrusive, easily managed and cost effective, it meets the needs of the business owner while helping technology partners deliver a superior service that meets market demand, provides competitive advantage and drives revenue."

Cerberian's Internet monitoring and filtering service features one of the largest databases of categorized URLs. In addition, Cerberian combines blocking, monitoring, real-time URL rating, policy management and real-time reporting in a centrally managed, 100 percent Web-based solution.

Cerberian Internet Manager, specifically developed for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) solutions, features a small, ultra-light footprint. Offered as an outsource model, Cerberian maintains the technology and file management responsibility on Cerberian's data centers. Business owners and operators can turn to their current firewall and security hardware providers for an integrated Internet filtering solution.

Smith further elaborated, "Our model allows businesses to purchase our service as part of an existing technology, rather than purchasing additional hardware and software to sit next to other appliances. Users simply plug it in, configure it, and let it run. They set up and manage their use policies and reports for all users from any Internet-enabled computer. This straightforward solution helps businesses save money because Cerberian allows businesses to invest in only one appliance versus multiple, extensive filtering and reporting servers that can't globalize reports and management."

Cerberian's technology offers three key benefits for gateway device manufacturers and service providers:

1. Our service can be sold as a package or as an up-sell, providing incremental revenues.

2. Internet appliances with an integrated Internet filtering solution have a competitive advantage over appliances without a solution.

3. Cerberian's Internet Manager offers easy and seamless integration for OEM solutions.

Cerberian's service is particularly effective for distributed enterprise organizations and small to medium-sized businesses. Our outsourced tool can be managed anytime and from any single Internet-enabled computer -- a unique feature in the industry.

"Cerberian's small footprint, combined with our outsourced model and a la carte services, truly differentiates our Internet Manager from competitors," Smith said. "With the demand of URL filtering and Internet monitoring growing, and existing customer-hosted solutions not meeting the needs of the marketplace, Cerberian's solution truly stands out."
