St Bernard Open iPrism Model 3100 Education License Features
Exclusive Kernel-Level Filtering
iPrism’s proprietary filtering technology delivers enhanced throughput without increased latency. You get the speed of pass-by technology with the accuracy and control of pass-through.
Most Comprehensive and Accurate URL Database
The exclusive iGuard 100% human-reviewed database uses best-of-breed URL classification to give you the most accurate filtering solution in the industry. Now with 80 categories containing millions of sites, iPrism allows you to easily customize your filtering to fit the exact requirements of your acceptable use policy. Your subscription includes automatic, daily database updates, with the crucial security category, covering spyware, malware and phishing sites, updated hourly.
Easy-to-Use, Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
As a dedicated Internet filtering appliance, iPrism requires no additional hardware or software. Easy to install, configure and administer, it operates virtually maintenance free — a true savings for your IT staff and budget. iPrism and all its features are available for one all-inclusive price, no additional charge for categories such as spyware, IM and P2P. From initial acquisition through maintenance and renewal, iPrism delivers the lowest TCO on the market.
Powerful and Scalable
The M3100 has features that ensure continuous operation and scalability including dual power supplies with failover to provide greater redundancy and uptime, a RAID hard disk controller, dual hard drives and dual network cards. Combined with its exclusive kernel-level filtering, these enhancements give the M3100 enterprise-class throughput with minimal latency.
Protection Against Spyware, Malware and Phishing
iPrism gives you superior protection against the pervasive threats of spyware and malware by blocking the sites that propagate and deliver infected applications to your organization. You also get protection from sites that foster phishing attacks. This protects both your networks and employees at the perimeter before harm can reach them.
Block Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer to Peer (P2P)
Instant Messaging applications have become as pervasive as Internet browsers, yet pose greater risks because they typically bypass security firewalls. P2P poses risks such as illegal file sharing of copyrighted material and even more serious, loss of sensitive or proprietary corporate data. iPrism allows you to secure your organization and employees by blocking and monitoring IM and P2P protocols across your network.
Delegated Administration
iPrism gives you the flexibility to delegate policy management to any person within the organization. This is ideal for situations where policy may not be managed by IT or for large organizations trying to optimize resources. You can create a subset of administrators to handle any number of group policies, while still retaining control with a super manager who can’t be overridden. In addition, Auto-Login enhancements for Windows speed authentication and allow more flexibility in applying policies and generating reports with easy-to-deploy login scripts.
Exclusive iGuard Database
The iPrism 100% human-reviewed iGuard database is the most accurate in the industry with millions of URLs within 80 categories allowing easy customization to fit your organization’s AUP. New URLs are continually added with daily updates sent to your iPrism automatically. Critical URLs within the Security category, which includes sites known to carry spyware, malware and phishing, are updated hourly. And the iGuard database is all-inclusive — no extra charges for so-called “premium” categories. The iPrism Automated Rating Protocol (iARP) feature further refines Web filtering by sending your most frequently accessed unrated URLs to the iGuard team automatically. They are then added to your database, typically within 24 hours. iARP not only improves the relevancy of your filtering by adding local filters automatically, it also conserves the time management would spend dealing with unrated sites. In addition, as part of it’s safe-search feature, iPrism has the ability to block inappropriate Google thumbnails during image searches — an important feature for schools that need to protect students and companies wanting to avoid the legal liability associated with inappropriate images.
Remote Filtering
iPrism has the ability to filter mobile users — an important attribute in today’s fluid business environment. Using filtering policies set by the IT administrator, proxied web traffic from remote or mobile users is easily and accurately monitored and blocked.
