Filter the Online Content Your Networked Users Access Inappropriate online content can create an uncomfortable work environment, lead to harassment lawsuits, or expose children to pornography or racially intolerant sites. Mana Security’s Managed Content Filtering allows organizations to determine Internet access policies tailored to their specific needs, with URL filtering, keyword blocking and cookie, Java and ActiveX blocking. Mana Security’s Internet Content Filter List subscription is based on the CyberNOT List, a dynamic list of sites containing inappropriate material, which is maintained by Cyber Patrol. This is the same, highly regarded list used by America Online, Media One, AT&T World Net, Bell Atlantic and Microsoft. Mana Security’s Managed Content Filter List provides organizations with the liberty to be responsible for implementing an effective Acceptable Use Policy without the administration, management or maintenance. Mana Security provides weekly updates to the filter list, ensuring proper enforcement of access restrictions for new and relocated sites. The filter list can also be customized to block specific URLs or keywords. An organization may determine to log attempts to access sites on the CyberNOT List, custom list, and keyword list. This provides the ability to monitor Internet usage before putting new usage restrictions in place. •  Content Filter List Subscription: Since the content on the Internet is constantly changing, a Content Filter List subscription is available which updates the Content Filter List on a weekly basis to ensure that access restrictions to new and relocated sites are properly enforced. •  URL Filtering with Trusted and Forbidden Domains: Mana Security can specify domains or hosts (e.g., "yahoo.com") that accecss can be allowed ("Trusted") or denied ("Forbidden"). Mana Security can customize the Content Filter List to allow Web access to sites on a custom list. With careful screening, this can be close to 100% effective at blocking objectionable material. •  Keyword Blocking: Mana Security can optionally scan both tthe filename field and host field for specific keywords, and block any requests that contain them. For example, if the organization would like to block the keyword "sex," access to sites such as "http://www.hotsex.com" will be blocked. •  Java, ActiveX and Cookie Blocking: Java and ActiveX scripts are often used for hacker attacks. "Cookies," which direct a remote Web browser to save small amounts of data on its local hard disk, can be used to store preference information, and track Web usage history. For this reason, they can cause some privacy concerns. Mana Security's appliances may be configured to block Java and ActiveX scripts, as well as Cookies. •  Block by Time of Day: Mana Security can also make filtering active only during certain times of the day. A school could, for example, have filtering on during school hours and then remove filtering controls after school. A business could allow unfiltered Internet access to employees during a lunch hour and after work hours. When Time of Day filtering is activated, all filtering functions (filter list, cookie blocking, keyword bocking, etc.) will be on or off during specified times. •  CyberNOT Blocked List Categories: •  Violence/Profanity (graphics or text) •  Partial Nudity •  Full Nudity •  Sexual Acts (graphics or text) •  Gross Depictions (graphics or text) •  Intolerance (graphics or text) •  Satanic/Cult (graphics or text) •  Drugs/Drug Culture (graphics or text) •  Militant/Extremist (graphics or text) •  Sex Education (graphics or text) •  Questionable/Illegal Gambling (graphics or text) •  Alcohol & Tobacco (graphics or text)
