Network Box has chosen SurfControl (now WebSense) to provide the database that allows Network Box to implement Internet Surfing filtering capabilities. The SurfControl content filtering engine, from the world's #1 web and email filtering company, is based on a categorisation database covering over 10 million websites, in 70 languages spread across 200 countries.
The system is fully customisable by the administrator through a web browser interface. Policies can be set per authenticated user or IP address, and can also be restricted by time, date, protocol, method or URL category.
Authentication options include Windows domain controllers, LDAP directory servers and locally defined users.

“The [Network Box] managed service aspect is important to us as it not only saves a lot time but also gives us the confidence of knowing that the system in place is always up-to-date. We were surprised to see that it was also much more cost-effective.”
