Various statistics show that employees spend a significant fraction of their workdays online, indulging in non-business-related matters. These activities also waste bandwidth, reducing company profits and connectivity efficiency. Illicit surfing also can bring harm to the enterprise in the form of leaked corporate data and acquired viruses, such as the Nimda worm. The burgeoning peer-to-peer connections and streaming media that many connected employees have grown fond of come at a very real cost. Those seeking to put the breaks on "bad" traffic should be pleased with ContentKeeper's fresh bag of tricks.

Breaking the mold of filtering processes used by most of its competitors--including Secure Computing Corp.'s SmartFilter and SurfControl's SuperScout Web Filter and CyberPatrol Web Filter--ContentKeeper uses the company's patented Closed-Loop Collaborative Filtering technology. Typical plug-in appliances often play catch-up with proxy server software and operating systems as they evolve--letting an obsolete filtering plug-in disrupt the network, for example. Because ContentKeeper runs on servers configured as adaptive transparent Ethernet bridges, it functions autonomously with no concern for firewalls and router configurations, and it in no way relies on proxy servers. HTTP-only communication with data centers ensures that no protocol squabbles or similar ill dealings will occur between ContentKeeper and customer firewall/proxy server setups, no matter how they may be configured.
