Protection against Harmful Content with Internet Monitoring Software
Introduction to
Different Types of Filters
The original purpose of internet filtering software was to
protect children from viewing adult content sites. Organizations and companies
also consider internet filtering software to be an absolute essential need.
Both appliance and standard-based options for internet filtering software offer
standard functions. They monitor internet activity, block site access,
automatic enforcement of company guideline and reporting of inappropriate
behavior. There is more importance attached to an appliance-based solution. The
advantages of an appliance-based internet filtering software are given below.

Benefits of
Appliance-Based Filters versus Software-Based Filters at BLS Infotech
Software-based internet filtering software must integrate
with your operating system, but there is no guarantee that they be secure and
stable. It can also degrade the performance because resources are shared with
hosts and low level of performance can increase with load as well. More users
create increased loads on the host systems also. An excellent internet
filtering appliance uses pass-by technology to check websites and IM requests
against a list that is automatically updated. If the request matches a name on
the list that is not allowed, then a denial is sent back to the user and no
bandwidth is used.
The dedicated resource of an appliance and its pass-by
technology will prevent network slowdowns also. The accuracy and reliability of
an appliance-based internet monitoring software is maintained through updates
in the system. The software has to check every request thereby creating a
bottleneck that is a single point of failure. If the bottleneck crashes, no
internet traffic will pass in or out of the company. In regards to time and
cost, an appliance-based internet filtering software needs less
maintenance
than a software filtering system. The database is based on the appliance
filtering device where it is updated automatically with new sites, protocols
and port activities in order to block port-hopping servers. Alternatively,
software filters require manual updates and requires all traffic to travel
through the single point of failure. An internet filtering appliance may not be
necessary for a small company while software-based programs are not designed to
handle large loads. The cost of the software filters will likely affect a
company's revenues more than the investment in an internet filtering appliance.
