SurfControl Web Filter Named a 2006 SC Magazine Finalist

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 9 -- SurfControl (LSE: SRF), the world leader in enterprise threat protection, today announced the company has been selected as a SC Magazine 2006 Awards finalist for best Web Filter product.

SurfControl Web Filter is a market leading internet security software solution that allows organizations to effectively monitor and control employee usage of the web. The ability to control Web access helps eliminate known, emerging and targeted security threats, providing employees with a safe browsing experience. In addition, SurfControl Web Filter can be used to manage web access both from within and outside the company, ensuring appropriate usage and projection for employees whether they access the Web from their office desk or while working remotely.

In August 2005 SurfControl Web Filter earned five stars across the board, receiving the coveted SC Magazine Best Buy Award. Reviewer Christopher Moody noted several stand-out qualities of SurfControl Web Filter: "Simple URL filtering is not the only trick Web Filter has. You can also block categories by bandwidth and by time. So you can limit access to shopping websites to 30 minutes a day, or music download sites to a maximum of 10MB. Once limits are reached, sites in the category are blocked." The review concluded with, "Powerful and easy to manage, Web Filter covers all the basics and a whole lot more. For comprehensive web filtering, there aren't any better products."
