Business Content Filtering
Content Filtering, Bandwidth Management and Application Control
Effective Content Management Should Move Beyond Traditional Blacklists
Because of the changing state of the Internet, URL blocking and categorization is no longer effective in controlling content.
On average, 50% of your Internet connection is used for browsing. Some of the browsing activity is critical like research and informational sites and some of it is recreational, like social networking, gaming and adult content. The other 50% of your Internet connection is used for Internet applications - both critical, like Voice-Over-IP and database backups; and recreational, like peer-to-peer, streaming media and music downloads.
Network Composer by Cymphonix is the only solution that addresses both browsing and application activity.
Traditional filters either use URL libraries or dynamic content analysis to determine inappropriate sites. URL libraries only include a small percentage of the Internet and dynamic content analysis engines introduce too much latency. Network Composer uses an optimized balance of URL categorization, keyword scanning and dynamic content analysis to give you next-generation filtering without introducing noticeable latency.
