Internet Monitoring, Filtering, Blocking, Deep Packet Inspection, Integration

Some of the solution features as described on the NetSweeper website:

  • Web 2.0 Protection :

Netsweeper’s packet-level filtering addresses individual URIs, not just websites.
This means that the mashups and embedded content in web pages can be categorized individually, rather than relying on the category of the aggregating page.

  • Keyword Blocking :

In addition to our dynamic categorization, Netsweeper also provides intelligent keyword blocking throughout the solution.

  • SSL and HTTPS filtering :

In addition to HTTP filtering, Netsweeper’s unique approach to encrypted traffic filtering enables fast and effective filtering without jeopardizing security certificates.

  • Block Anonymous Proxies :

Netsweeper identifies and blocks more than 40,000 new proxy sites every day. :
Netsweeper allows enforcement of SafeSearch capabilities across Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, easysearch.org.uk, Metacrawler, excite.com, search.lycos.com, AOL, Dogpile, Hotbot, Alltheweb, ask.com and playaudiovideo.com.

  • Protocol Management :

Operating at the protocol level, Netsweeper Mobile Filtering allows administrators to control more than just HTTP traffic; you can also control the use of file-sharing programs, messaging programs, voice over-ip (VOIP) protocols, and more.

  • DeepNines Network Application Monitor provides real-time, advanced network visibility with historical reporting across all ports and protocols. As an intelligent application monitor, it identifies all activities and applications for the Web to provide complete network visibility and awareness for analyzing..."
  • DeepNines Proxy Blocker technology was also originally developed by DeepNines, and is the only technology able to recognize and block any type of Web proxy or other circumvention attempts at the gateway... DeepNines Proxy Blocker detects and eliminates Web-based proxies that circumvent network security and filtering solutions. By identifying, reporting and preventing Web proxies in real-time, Proxy Blocker protects against users bypassing content filtering, security policies and malware detection across all ports and protocols. And since the DeepNines approach is based on detecting the fundamental technology used by the proxy, Proxy Blocker can immediately block all Web proxies without knowing the specific IP address or URL.
  • DeepNines Content Inspector "By utilizing DeepNines patented deep packet inspection technology, Content Inspector provides real-time Web scanning of all content with near-zero latency..."

As network users browse the Web, the network traffic is intercepted by an ImageStream router, just like a transparent proxy. The router identifies the URL and sends a message to a Netsweeper Policy Server that is deployed within the local network and connected to the Internet. The Policy Server classifies the URL and replies to the router with directions to block the URL or allow transfer of the page to the client. "
