Business & Enterprise Solutions

The need for Content Filtering changes from institution to institution. When it comes to business enterprises, the needs are entirely different, and might need to be deployed at multiple locations with multiple users, and they may all have different internet needs!

WOW Filter is the best there is when it comes to Enterprise Solutions – primarily because of its extreme ease of installation and operation. We took a conscious decision of offering WOW Filter as a SaaS (Service as a Software), simply because there need not be an installation cost and the turnaround time from signing the contract to getting started using the system is zero.

Our primary web content filtering system includes a robust backend which is constantly updated, and you can be certain that your overall employee productivity will increase when you deploy WOW Filter in your organization. Since data is all managed from our servers which are at multiple secure locations, you don’t need to invest any of your company’s disk space or bandwidth. In fact, when you have a premium account with us, your entire user bandwidth flow also happens at our end and we give you a tiered discount plan so you can save big time on your internet costs.

Another great thing about shifting to WOW Filter is the absence of a need for a dedicated system admin at your end. Once you configure the system (which is so easy it can be done by a kid) you don’t need to do anything else! Our system will monitor everything that goes on and will give you periodic reports about the kind of websites which are being accessed or blocked in your firm. Since we give you complete access to your WOW Filter control panel, you can just make changes as and when needed. It is also possible to have different levels of access to different teams working in your organization. As they login with their passwords, WOW Filter will automatically give them access to the sites you wanted them to access or block them from it.

We invite you to try out WOW Filter for free. In fact, if you have a small business enterprise, our free solution could even be sufficient for your web content filtering needs! If you have any clarification, our team is available to clarify – just ask!

How SaaS Solves the Problems of On-Premise Security

Businesses traditionally invest in security software, hardware and appliances in order to prevent specific problems: malware infections, security breaches, spam, data loss, non-compliance and legal liability. Unfortunately, these on-premise “solutions” bring problems of their own. They drain IT resources and budgets. They produce single points of failure. They are difficult to scale when business needs change, and their limited life-cycles create high and unpredictable expenses. Security Software as a Service (SaaS) is a sustainable security approach that solves these problems today — and meets your business needs for tomorrow. The SaaS model is cost-effective, manageable and flexible. Most importantly, Security SaaS provides better protection by blocking threats in the cloud, away from your network. There are no software or hardware purchases, no single-point-of-failure risks, and no unexpected outages and replacements. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee top quality perform- mance and availability, so you can rest assured you have the highest level of protection.

Why SAS using Proxy Server?

 

A proxy server works as an intermediate between client computers of local networks and an external net such as Internet. It processes client’s requests to Internet resources, hides local network structure, provides client security and anonymity. It provides a wide variety of capabilities.

ProxEfence Proxy Server supports a large number of connections and has low system requirements. It can work efficiently when a system has more then one processor and pipeline data processing on the Server and Client sides

  

Filter harmful websites

ProxEfence can block pornography, hate sites, chat rooms, gambling sites and other dangers of the Internet.

 

Dynamic Content Analysis

The ProxEfence program uses dynamic contextual analysis to filter Web content. As Web pages are requested, ProxEfence 's dynamic analysis engine has the ability to understand content in context and filter appropriately.

 

Multiple Filtering Profiles

ProxEfence is highly customizable, permitting administrators to create user groups and policies, setting different levels of restrictions for every user group depending on their maturity, interests, habits, and administrator control needs.

 

Remote Management

The ProxEfence Remote Management feature equips you with powerful administration capabilities. From any Web browser you can modify your entire user group's settings.

 

Time Management

The ProxEfence Time Management feature allows you to manage the time of day and the amount of time that users can spend on the Internet. Time Controls can be set either by limiting the total number of hours and minutes a user can spend on the Internet over a given period, or by setting specific times (in 30-minute increments) when Internet access is allowed or blocked.

 

Traffic Management

The ProxEfence Traffic Management feature allows you to manage the volume of traffic that users can access on the Internet.

 

Customized Lists

ProxEfence permits you to create customized lists of unacceptable (Blocked Sites List) or acceptable (Trusted Sites List) web sites. For example, you could set up a white list of sites that you would allow your users to visit, and block all other sites from access.

Proxy Servers and Caching: The caching of Web pages by proxy servers can improve a network's "quality of service" in three ways. First, caching may conserve bandwidth on the network, increasing scalability. Next, caching can improve response time experienced by clients. With an HTTP proxy cache, for example, Web pages can load more quickly into the browser. Finally, proxy server caches increase availability. Web pages or other files in the cache remain accessible even if the original source or an intermediate network link goes offline.

 

Also: Beyond the ability to keep malware off production computers, the next most important benefit of using a web proxy filter is the ability to prevent users from going places on the Internet that are contrary to the policies of the organization. These filters prohibit access to all kinds of different categories of content and can be turned on or off as necessary. In addition, using a web proxy filter allows for management to not have to worry about malware content sneaking into computers and prevents the extra expense of having your technical personnel spend time cleaning malware off computers. Removing this threat source helps keep the computers running effectively.
