Content has changed and URL filtering is not enough. Prioritize the good content and stop all unwanted content with DeepNines iTrust.

In 2000, the U.S. Congress ratified the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which focused primarily on preventing access to pornography sites. But since then, content delivery mechanisms and Internet access have become more complex. Today, content management is not just about preventing access to inappropriate websites; students and educators must be able to trust the Internet in order to take advantage of the online educational experience.

Educators face a myriad of challenges in the online environment, including:

1. Students use web proxies to bypass the content filters and access malicious content
2. Unwanted content consuming expensive network resources
3. Teachers frustrated with today's online educational experience
4. Network administrators unable to prioritize good network traffic
5. Spyware and spybots taking over the network
6. 1 to 1 initiatives are becoming prevalent but mobile laptops are not protected

The simple, irrefutable fact is that malicious content has evolved faster than the technology designed to block it. Therefore, a paradigm shift is required in the way that you think about content filtering.

Introducing DeepNines' iTrust: Intelligent and Proactive Content ControlDeepNines' iTrust controls new and evolving content by combining behavior- and signature-based intrusion prevention and intelligent traffic management with proprietary Web proxy and content control technology.

Designed for large and small security environments alike, iTrust identifies and immediately blocks inappropriate behavior while facilitating the flow of good traffic and content to ensure educational requirements are prioritized. The iTrust solution relies on much more than basic URL updates. Once deployed, iTrust offers around the clock protection from:

• Hundreds of web proxy variations
• All filter circumvention techniques
• Millions of URLs with inappropriate content
• Peer-to-peer file sharing downloads
• Online chats and gaming
• Spyware, viruses and worms
