ContentProtect 2.1 leverages "Safe Search", found in popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, AltaVista, Lycos, AllTheWeb, and MSN. This new feature will increase protection against pornographic images.
Client Based
ContentWatch Professional is installed on a computer workstation or notebook computer. This ensures that whenever/wherever/however the user connects to the Internet, the computer is being filtered. Because ContentWatch products are client-based the filtering actually takes advantage of the client's processing power rather than becoming a potential point of failure as with server-based or appliance solutions. Small appliance and server-based products cannot offer this same benefit.
Application Management
ContentWatch's Application Manager permits administrators to manage applications that users can run on their desktop computers. In an age where employees can install applications on computers that may present security threats, Application Manager™ provides another level of security and application compliance to prevent these kinds of threats.
Easy to Manage/Maintain
Because updates occur automatically, and user Internet policies can be managed remotely, management and maintenance is less expensive and time consuming than server-based solutions, where IT staff must be allocated to manage and maintain them. Maintenance and ongoing administration is a snap.
Reporting
ContentProtect Professional Suite provides the ability for Administrators to view reports anywhere and at any time. Reports are stored in the ContentWatch Data Centre (CDC). Having data stored in the CDC permits access to online reports from any Internet connection in the world. Administrators can check on the Internet activity of their employees from work or in a hotel room while travelling. Reporting includes logs of IM traffic, bypass or disable attempts, and more.
Perfect for Mobile or Notebook Computer Users
Because of its client-based architecture, ContentProtect Professional Suite is a perfect fit for mobile or notebook computer users. Regardless of how the user connects to the Internet, filtering is present. Without a client-based solution a user could simply bypass the corporate network by using a wireless connection or simply plugging into an analog line and using a personal dial-up service. This could even happen from the employee's office, making server-based solutions easy to bypass.
