There are other considerations for a broadband Internet access filter than inappropriate content like pornography or gambling. A access broadband filter Internet solution like iPrism is more than a basic porn filter; iPrism is a broadband Internet access filter. “Access filter” means that iPrism can set rules for when certain sites can be accessed, track current and historical usage, and protocol and media filtering. iPrism's broadband Internet access filter grants control over the way that employees access the Internet.
iPrism’s effectiveness as a broadband Internet access filter is tied to the fact that it filters every single packet of traffic, inbound and outbound, on a network. Unlike software filters that have to be installed on every computer on the network, installed on all Internet-connect servers, or set up as a separate proxy server, iPrism's broadband Internet access filter is a filtering appliance that is installed as a transparent bridge; every packet of traffic passes through the iPrism appliance, going through kernel-level filters before being sent to the network. This is about twice as fast as filtering software, without backlogs or missed packets.

iPrism’s broadband Internet access filter provides both user-centric filtering and access
monitoring:
- Adaptable user profiles configure filtering, each for a different type of employee or user, so every person has the kind of Internet access they require. Profiles define the site categories which are monitored or blocked, time ranges for when the site can be accessed, and whether to enforce safe searches, which filters search engine results.
- The Real-Time Broadband Internet Access Filter Monitor tracks current access, such as the URL and category of websites currently being accessed, which users are viewing them, and how much bandwidth is used; immediate monitoring can be combined with reporting features to track employee access over time.
- Centralized configuration means that iPrism is scalable to any size network, any operating system, public networks, broadband and dial-up connections, even wide-area networks with multiple filtering appliances. Policies can be applied across an entire organization consistently.
- Impenetrable security as a broadband Internet access filter is possible because iPrism is an appliance rather than software or hardware add-ons. Unlike other types of broadband Internet access filter, iPrism access broadband filter Internet cannot be circumvented by disabling proxies or by shutting off software. The appliance itself has never been breached by external or internal hacking.
- iPrism also has a low total cost of ownership, with minimal time for configuration and little maintenance overhead with periodic automatic updates.
iPrism is a single point of access broadband filter Internet for the entire organization, creating consistent, effective monitoring. Four network concepts – access broadband filter Internet – are combined for network control, network integration, employee usage, and technology accessibility. |
