SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SurfControl
(LSE: SRF), the world leader in enterprise threat protection, today announced
the company has been selected as a SC Magazine 2006 Awards finalist for best
Web Filter product.
SurfControl Web Filter is a market leading internet security software
solution that allows organizations to effectively monitor and control employee
usage of the web. The ability to control Web access helps eliminate known,
emerging and targeted security threats, providing employees with a safe
browsing experience. In addition, SurfControl Web Filter can be used to
manage web access both from within and outside the company, ensuring
appropriate usage and projection for employees whether they access the Web
from their office desk or while working remotely.
In August 2005 SurfControl Web Filter earned five stars across the board,
receiving the coveted SC Magazine Best Buy Award. Reviewer Christopher Moody
noted several stand-out qualities of SurfControl Web Filter: "Simple URL
filtering is not the only trick Web Filter has. You can also block categories
by bandwidth and by time. So you can limit access to shopping websites to 30
minutes a day, or music download sites to a maximum of 10MB. Once limits are
reached, sites in the category are blocked." The review concluded with,
"Powerful and easy to manage, Web Filter covers all the basics and a whole lot
more. For comprehensive web filtering, there aren't any better products."
