-- Custom notifications: Companies can select who to notify when IM
policy violations occur, administering an organization's AUP and helping to
modify user behavior
-- File-transfer blocking: Ability to prevent all file transfers or only
those above a certain size, protecting organizations and networks from data
leakage and congestion
-- Content filtering: IT managers can block specific words and phrases
that are customizable, also helping to adhere to a company's AUP
-- Anti-virus protection: Adds another layer of protection to protect a
company's network from viruses via IM traffic
iPrism Web Filter 6.0 with built-in anti-virus goes a step above desktop AV
by providing protection at the perimeter. iPrism Web Filter scans Web site
content and blocks malware, enabling organizations to safeguard themselves
from Internet-based viruses and spyware. This is increasingly important as
Web pages are becoming a top target for viruses, with Google estimating
that 10% of URLs are infected with malicious content(1). In combination
with its proprietary iGuard® database, St. Bernard's AV for Web filtering
offers high performance perimeter protection from malware / viruses,
spyware and phishing, and is provided to customers at no extra cost.
"As a long-time iPrism customer, I didn't think there was much that St.
Bernard could do to improve upon iPrism," said Marc Ludwig, systems
engineer at Poway Unified School District. "iPrism Web Filter 6.0 on the
new h-Series platform exceeds my expectations and requirements for
supporting 7,000 workstations with high-bandwidth filtering. Once my
policies are set, iPrism provides nearly hands-free management. iPrism 6.0
not only includes virus filtering at no additional cost, but also gives us
the ability to filter instant messaging -- another way of protecting the
school from online threats."
"With the launch of iPrism IM Filter, we are the first security vendor to
deliver new and measurable value to the market through a true Hybrid secure
content management platform," said Vince Rossi, president and CEO at St.
Bernard. "Our Hybrid security solutions leverage the control advantages of
an on-premises appliance with the flexibility and scalability of on-demand
services, providing capabilities that are truly unique in the industry. As
we continue to build upon this platform, we believe we are leading the
evolution to Hybrid software delivery
and management."
iPrism IM Filter and iPrism Web Filter 6.0 will be available in March 2008.
Existing iPrism Web Filter customers can upgrade at no cost. Pricing for
all iPrism solutions includes a one-time hardware cost and a one-, two- or
three-year subscription fee based on the number of users. More information
