M86 Web Filter and Reporter Appliance Offers One-Appliance Version of M86’s Best-in-Breed URL Filtering, Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting

Sydney, Australia. – MARCH 10, 2010 – M86 Security, the global expert in real-time Web and email threat protection, today introduced the M86 Web Filter and Reporter, a single appliance which delivers M86’s best-in-breed URL filtering as well as real-time monitoring and reporting. The appliance provides the same filtering, monitoring and reporting capabilities that previously required three appliances.

M86 Web Filter and Reporter, specifically built for small and medium-sized organisations, offers a cost-effective means of securing a network through one appliance. This approach reduces initial expenses, server rack space, and expenditures related to essential maintenance and electricity costs compared to products which rely on separate appliances for each filtering, monitoring and reporting functions.

“M86 understands the economic pressures organisations, particularly small and medium sized businesses, face on a daily basis,” said Werner Thalmeier, vice president, product management, M86 Security.  “The ability for a single appliance to achieve what two or three once accomplished provides these entities with a lower total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance or compromising security.”

With the ability to conduct real-time monitoring as well as provide detailed and customised reports, M86 Web Filter and Reporter is uniquely deployed passively rather than as a proxy avoiding the introduction of bottlenecks or latency into the network. Easy to set up and manage, this appliance-based solution eliminates the need for separate servers or operating systems. M86’s support of the hardware, software, and updates associated with this Web filter and reporting tool removes much of the potential deployment and management issues for system administrators.

This filtering and reporting tool also employs application control by signature using signature detection to block over 125 types of streaming media, gaming, peer-to-peer, remote desktop and Instant Messaging apps such as MSN Messenger, Limewire and GoToMyPc. M86 Web Filter and Reporter’s application control helps organisations demonstrate compliance, mitigate security risks, prevent data loss and manage productivity more effectively.
