Antivirus and Content Security Solution for your computer | |

 | |  |
| The
Content Security software should broadly address the following issues. - Control
access to websites
- Control e-mail activity
- Control remote file
modification
- Block Spammer's e-mail ID and issue warnings and notifications
If your organization is large, then you need to assign uniform global
security policies that govern all machines in your network.
Recommended
features of good Content Security software are given below
Control
access to websites
The software should allow you to selectively block
and allow websites on your network. The following issues need to be addressed:
Restricted words:
Software should allow you to specify
restricted words and phrases like: porn, xxx, etc. and add them to the restricted
words list. Access to any URL or page, that has these words, should automatically
be blocked.
The software should also be intelligent enough, not to block
or flag educational or medical sites. Many Content Security software's, currently
available in the market, have this crippling problem.
List of
banned sites:
Software should allow you to add URLs of banned sites.
Access to these sites is immediately blocked. Some notorious sites like www.hustler.com,
www.playboy.com, etc. do not change their names. Such known sites need to be blocked
outright.
Banned IP:
Websites can be accessed by entering
the IP (Internet Protocol) number. The software should be able to translate the
IP number to its website name and block access if it contains restricted words
or is on the banned list. For e.g. www.sex-circus.com can be accessed
through its IP, http://198.63.10.71 when you use other Content Security software.
Software's like Web and Mail Filter for Windows are intelligent enough to translate
the IP to its URL and block it.
Filter Category:
The software should allow you to create category of filters for block and allow
site. Sites related to the category can be listed there. For e.g. Pornography
Category will have sites related to porn and all sites for this category are blocked.
It should be possible to add or remove sites from block and allow category with
a mouse click.
Log Files:
The software should auto
create a log of sites visited, blocked sites and reason why it was blocked.

e-mail... more info

Attachment Control
E-mails are an invaluable tool to send and receive
information. But they provide a very easy way to send out company confidential
information in the form of attachments. While e-mail themselves can carry only
information, e-mail attachments are the real sources to leak valuable company
information. The following features need to be present... more

Archive EMails
Software should allow system administrators
to save into an archive folder, e-mails and attachments, sent or received by users
in the network. The saved e-mails can then be browsed to see if the contents violate
your security policy. At the same time, you should be able to exclude specific
attachment types from being archived... more
info Pop Up Ad Filter
Pop Up Ad is an advertisement that
appears when you access or exit a web page. These are created and placed on web
pages by advertisers or web site owners. Not all Pop Ups are unwanted. Some sites
require you to fill a registration form or you may have clicked a link for information
and it is displayed as Pop Up... more info
Privacy Protector
Privacy is very important to you. Manually deleting
history folders, cache, etc. does not ensure your privacy as others can still
find out details of the sites you visited, files opened, etc. The Browser Clean
Up! feature allows you to automatically run a schedule that removes all such traces
from your system... more info
