DeepNines Releases iTrust Version 6

Article

DeepNines Technologies today announced the release of version 6.0 of their award-winning iTrust solution. This major upgrade includes a new web-based reporting module, identity-based application and content control and a variety of new features based on extensive customer feedback and market research.

New features in iTrust version 6.0 include the following:

Redesigned web-based reporting: New comprehensive reporting is offered via a user-friendly web interface with customizable reports, dashboards and logs. Identity-based application controls: Allow, limit or deny access to specific applications for granular network content control. For example, control access to specific streaming video applications by individual user as opposed to having to allow or deny all streaming video. DeepNines Hallpass: A secure alternative to traditional password override features that allows teachers to create and record sessions in order to share content with their students that might otherwise be blocked by the filter. Easy to use for teachers and manage for administrators. Increased performance/scalability: Even though DeepNines already has the highest throughput in the market, we continue to improve by offering higher sustainable traffic rates including enhanced performance for HTTP and content filtering. Expanded URL categorization: URL database has been expanded from 40 categories to 54 categories. Enhanced flow tracking: Expanded number of concurrent TCP flows that can be tracked through application proxies. Snort Compatibility: Complete Snort 2.8 rule compatibility. Enhanced Malware Protection: Updates to gateway anti-virus include enhanced protection against malware, spyware and viruses. " We chose DeepNines' security solution because it met our content filtering needs by keeping up with our network speeds, handling complex Web 2.0 content and providing protection from outside threats" said Dr. Thomas McClung, executive director of Information Management Services at Omaha Public Schools . "We look forward to our new working relationship with DeepNines and the filtering services that they provide for Omaha Public Schools."

By deploying the DeepNines new iTrust v6.0 solution, school districts can also be confident that they are fully compliant with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). As part of CIPA, school districts are required to develop and implement a policy to address unauthorized access including "hacking" by minors. DeepNines was the first company to develop a web proxy blocking solution that prevents students from circumventing or "hacking" school filters and firewalls to access unauthorized material. DeepNines still provides the only solution on the market that sits inline and takes action on Internet traffic in real-time to prevent any type of unauthorized access by students.
