ContentWatch Adds Internet Filtering Appliance to Its Product Lineup.

Company Strengthens Its Market Position with the Addition of an Internet Filtering Appliance

SAN FRANCISCO -- ContentWatch, the leading provider of Internet protection for homes, small/medium businesses, education, and government organizations, today announced the addition of the ContentProtect Pro Server Appliance in San Francisco at IT Security World 2006. The new ContentProtect Pro Server Appliance is an Internet filtering appliance that helps businesses and organizations increase productivity, reduce liability, and preserve precious bandwidth.

The ContentProtect Pro Server Appliance provides the same great filtering technology as its client-based sister software product, ContentProtect Professional, within a single server appliance. Designed with ease of use in mind, the product requires no software installation or configuration on individual computers. The appliance is simply connected to the network, and with minimal configuration it protects access to the Internet. The appliance will automatically protect the network, blocking Web sites that contain pornography, nudity, sexually explicit material, and Web sites that present risk to businesses while prohibiting employees from accessing sites that inhibit productivity.

A recent study conducted by International Data Corp. (IDC) concluded that 30 to 40 percent of Internet use in the workplace is not business related. (Source: IDC, Secure Content Management Report, March 2004).

"ContentWatch is one of the first security vendors to offer round-trip Internet management and protection to businesses and organizations," said Jack Sunderlage, president and CEO of ContentWatch. "Today, the Internet has become a common staple in the workplace. With more mobile and remote users, businesses are faced with the growing challenge of increasing employee productivity and protecting their computers, networks and employees from objectionable content and security threats regardless of where and how the user connects to the Internet. The ContentProtect Pro Server Appliance, combined with the ContentProtect Professional client option, round out our security offering by providing a more holistic approach to manage and protect Internet access -- especially to organizations that have a mobile workforce with notebook computers."

IDC also stated, "Employee Internet Management (EIM) has traditionally been deployed on servers at the gateway. Today's risks dictate that additional policy enforcement points should exist at the desktop and network levels as well as at the gateway."

Some of ContentProtect Pro Server Appliance key features include:

* Plug-and-Play Configuration - Minimal configuration is required in order to connect the appliance in-line to your network.

* Intelligent Filtering Detection - No double filtering if client software is loaded even though client is logged on to the corporate network.

* Multiple Filtering Profiles - Permits administrators to create organization, group, or individual filtering settings for employees.

* Dynamic Content Analysis - The appliance uses dynamic contextual analysis (in conjunction with word and URL lists) to filter Web content; analyzing content on the fly.

* Time Management - Permits administrators to set the time of day when users can access the Internet as well as a time quota feature that permits administrators to assign a block of time to a user.

* Customized Lists - Permits administrators to create customized lists of unacceptable or acceptable Web sites.

* Web Based Management and Reporting / Single Point of Administration - Allows administrators to manage Internet policies, users, and computers, as well as view reports from anywhere and any computer as long as an Internet connection is available.

* Toll-free Technical Support
