M86 Web Filter

 

The M86 Web Filtering and Reporting Suite offers high-performance, enterprise-level filtering with the M86 Web Filter. An appliance optimized for speed and scalability, the M86 Web Filter provides over 90 categories and millions of Web sites in the M86 Security Database. Deployed in pass-by/SPAN port or transparent mode, the M86 Web Filter resides outside the flow of network traffic to "watch" rather than "stop and check", delivering unmatched network compatibility and performance.

 

Benefits:

 

• Improves productivity by eliminating time wasted on unauthorized Web sites, Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications.
• Mitigates filtering and reporting issues and frees up IT management for mission-critical projects.
• Provides management with tools to enforce an organization's Acceptable Use Policy
• Complies with filter-enforcing laws such as CIPA, HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley
• Protects against damaging and costly legal liabilities due to exposure to inappropriate or offensive Web content
• Secure confidential information against spyware, phishing agents and peer-to-peer transfers
• Controls access to bandwidth-intensive sites

 

Product Features:

 

• Filters the Internet: Includes URLs and/or IP addresses, file types (e.g. MP3, MPEG, .zip), HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Newsgroups (NNTP), and TCP Ports.
• Blocks Internet Threats: Including spyware, malicious code and phishing sites.
• Blocks Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer: Utilizes M86 Security's Intelligent Footprint Technology (IFT) to block IM and P2P servers by signature or pattern.
• Real-Time Probes: Allow administrators to monitor user Internet activity as it happens.
• "X-Strikes" Blocking: Locks down a user's workstation when administrator-defined thresholds for accessing inappropriate Web sites are exceeded.
• Proxy Pattern Blocking: Blocks anonymous proxies using signature-based/network pattern detection.
• Google/Yahoo! SafeSearch Enforcement: Forces the SafeSearch mode "on" for all searches, including images within the Google or Yahoo! search engines.
• Customer Feedback Module: Sends frequent, non-categorized URLs from participating customers back to M86 on a daily basis. Selected URLs are reviewed and added to M86 Web Filter Database.
• Synchronization Central Management Console (SCMC): Allows administrators to synchronize and manage multiple M86 Web Filters without independently configuring each unit.
• Directory-based Authentication: Utilizes directories such as Windows Active Directory, Windows NT and LDAP.

 

How It Works

 

Filtering technologies are divided into two types: Pass-through (server plug-in based) and Pass-by (standalone-based). Many networks operate in a pass-through environment that creates "slow" points in the flow of data. Filtering solutions placed within a pass-through environment creates additional speed bumps and even a choke point if network traffic exceeds certain capacity levels. Pass-by solutions such as the M86 Web Filter are placed outside the flow of network traffic. It "watches" rather than "stops and checks" Web site requests. The result: no slowdown, even in heavy traffic situations. Most importantly, it doesn't create a point of failure.
