What Netsweeper Do

Netsweeper provides web content filtering and web threat management solutions and services. We deliver these solutions to telcos, education networks, school districts, corporations, government agencies and other organizations so that they can control access to inappropriate content and proactively mitigate web-based threats.

	The Netsweeper Difference Netsweeper fulfills the same needs as other web content filtering but we do it in a unique and powerful way that delivers superior performance at a radically lower total cost of ownership. Web Content Filtering Our web filtering solutions couple a unique cloud-based AI categorization engine with a powerful set of configuration and administration tools that let you tailor the solution to your organization’s needs. The result is web filtering that is continuously learning and improving based on the usage patterns of your users and the millions of other Netsweeper users around the world. Mobile Device Filtering Network-based filtering is not always enough to meet your needs. Netsweeper offers a range of options to help you protect your users when they are off your core networks, ensuring that regulations and/or acceptable use policies are obeyed and ensuring that your users continue to be protected from web-based threats. *Web Threat Management* Netsweeper delivers web threat management capabilities including protection from phishing, malware, viruses, trojans, spyware and adware. Emerging web threats are identified and categorized for your protection continuously throughout the day, based on the usage of all Netsweeper users worldwide. *Regulatory Compliance* A key driver behind the adoption of web filtering has been the need to comply with relevant legislation. US Schools need CIPA-compliant filtering to ensure continued e-Rate funding. Various telcos around the world are required to ensure that the illegal content online as found in the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and other lists can be blocked. Netsweeper deliver reliable filtering to meet regulatory compliance issues at a low total cost of ownership
Netsweeper By The Numbers Netsweeper provides world-class content filtering, scalable from a small schools and companies to the largest telcos. Some of the numbers behind our success:

	5 billion URLs categorized (and counting) Our cloud-based AIs scan and categorize new web content based on the usage patterns of Netsweeper users worldwide. This translates into 10 to 15 million new URIs categorized and added to our Master Category Name Servers every day. When you factor in the activity across all Netsweeper deployments, including both allowed and blocked content, Netsweeper servers are processing about a million URIs every second. 40,000 new proxies blocked every day Web based proxies are a frequently used approach to try and evade web filtering. Netsweeper identifies and blocks more than 40,000 new web proxy URIs daily. ZERO latency Especially in large deployments with lots of traffic, adding a 'hop' to the network traffic not only creates another potential point of failure, it slows down your traffic. Netsweeper is deployable out of band; this, coupled with the advanced architecture of our technology, means that Netsweeper imposes no latency to approved traffic and instead only interacts with traffic that must be filtered. 90% of traffic is categorized locally 90% of traffic is categorized in your local Netsweeper cache, which 'learns' from YOUR users traffic and becomes tailored to your exact needs as you use it. This greatly improves the speed and accuracy of your filtering. 200,000 new porn URIs categorized daily Pornography is a key factor behind the drive for web filtering technology. Porn sites are also among the most rapidly changing and expanding sectors of the web. Netsweeper categorizes more than 200,000 new porn URIs every single day, helping to ensure that inappropriate content is blocked. 70% less hardware Netsweeper helps you maintain your Green IT policies with its very modest hardware and infrastructure requirements. Netsweeper typically requires 70% ro 90% less hardware than other solutions to deliver web filtering. Netsweeper is also hardware 'agnostic', which means you can use standard Intel-based hardware rather than expensive proprietary appliances.
