WEB CONTENT FILTERING

(S-Scan)

Network Box’s Web Content Filtering engine, S-Scan, is designed to help organizations block users from accessing undesirable web content. With a detection rate of 98.7%* it offers excellent performance in terms of speed, coverage and web accuracy.

S-Scan uses high performance signature based technology, rather than a simple URL database, to identify web content more efficiently and effectively. Thus certain categories of new undesirable websites, can be identified almost immediately and in real-time, without the need to update a URL database.

S-Scan uses 57 productivity categories to identify and classify web content:

However, the ultimate settings is entirely under your control. With S-Scan, it is also possible for you to:

• turn all web content filtering off for your entire organization.
• only filter web content for certain user groups.
• only filter certain subsets of categories for all or certain user groups.
• filter certain web content during business hours, and turn off the content filtering during non-business hours.
