However, unlimited access to the Web can negatively impact individuals, network performance, and your bottom line. Effective Web filtering helps instill your organization's unique values while still empowering people with the information needed for success. With SmartFilter, any organization can build a positive, productive Web culture and be protected from the problems associated with uncontrolled Web access.

Why there's a problem

How SmartFilter works

SmartFilter installs On-Box™ on leading proxy servers or is pre-installed on caching appliances and firewalls.

All Web page requests first pass through SmartFilter and are instantly evaluated against the organization's Web policy using the SmartFilter Control List.

Requests are then allowed, denied, delayed, or coached.

The unique On-Box™ architecture has made SmartFilter the de facto standard for OEM integration into leading caching appliances and firewalls.

Smartfilter was available for the Borderware Firewall Server, but no longer. Our preffered installation is with Microsoft's ISA server for Windows environments.
