General Overview
Eyeblocker Enterprise Basic Filtering provides organizations with peace of mind, ensuring that they are protected from the legal liabilities associated Internet usage in the enterprise. With basic filtering, employees can be restricted from viewing web content that could damage the organizations reputation, or subject it to costly lawsuits. Additionally, Enterprise Basic Filtering is an important productivity that limits access to sites that too often pull employees away from their routine tasks and cost the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in lost time. Eyeblocker helps organizations regain lost productivity and stop Internet abuse.
Technical Overview
By default the Eyeblocker Basic solution is a transparent Linux server that has the capabilities of filtering a SMB or enterprise corporation from unwanted or undesirable HTTP content. It is traditionally installed in line with the network traffic. Another great technical feature is that it can be integrated with existing Microsoft Windows and Novell Netware directory services to offer per user filtering. The Eyeblocker Basic solution can also be integrated with RAS services to offer mobile users the same filtering services as fixed LAN users. Another advantage the solution offers is its capabilities to integrate with Cisco PIX and CheckPoint FW-1 firewalls to offer an even easier integration path.
Functional Overview
Distributed Administration
IT Administrators can give group or departmental heads control over the sections and employees for whom they are responsible. All policies can be reviewed by the Network Administrator to ensure that groups and departments are in-line with current enterprise Internet usage policies. Distributing the administration of the Filter reduces the load for IT departments and empowers other levels of management in the company to enforce control of Internet usage policies.
Web-Based Administration
The web-based administration of the solution gives enterprises the ability to manage the Filtering solution and its policies anytime and anywhere.
Global, Group, and Per-User Filtering
With multiple levels of filtering, enterprise organizations can enforce global policies across the entire network or manage multiple policies based on groups or users. Moving users and groups to other existing Internet usage policies, or creating new Internet usage policies, is quick and simple.
Scheduled Filtering and Filtering Overrides
Network Administrators can manage time of day settings for the filtering and adjust the filtering policies as required. Additionally, groups and individual users can be set to override the filter (although silent tracking can still be performed).
Silent Tracking
Utilizing silent tracking, enterprise organizations can survey, examine, and understand Internet usage within the company, and establish filtering policies based on the information. Administrators can determine which users are accessing which sites.
Granular Categorization
Corporations can choose from over 42 categories of filtering for the company. Moreover, customized Whitelists and Blacklists can be created to meet the specific filtering polices of the organization.
Whitelists and Blacklists
Corporations can create lists of acceptable or unacceptable websites. In those instances where the company wishes to override the categorization of a site, the Administrators could Whitelist (allow) or Blacklist (disallow) the site.
Comprehensive Reporting
With the Eyeblocker reporter included with the filtering solution, enterprise corporations have the ability to track, view and report on Internet activities within the organization. Reports can be exported to standard programs including Crystal Reports and Excel.
- Reports can be run on:
- User IDs, User Groups, IP Addresses, dates and times
- Site URL or IP address (destinations), site categories, whether sites were accessed or blocked, whether site visit violates policy violations
- Reports are capable of displaying all visits containing a queried keyword or URL
- Reports can be executed to display policy violations only
