Market Overview
In order to survive in today's world, businesses continually come up with new prod-
ucts, more sales, and better service. But most often, the corporate world is finan-
cially threatened from the inside. Employees harm businesses when they view
pornography and other offensive Web content at work, which often result in sexual
and hostile work environment lawsuits. Organizations also lose time and money
when employees tie up network bandwidth with IM and P2P, and/or allow spyware
and malware into the system. And finally, a host of federal and state laws require
that organizations protect customer data, or risk severe penalties.
Filtering comes down to four simple objectives: Mitigate legal liabilities created by
inappropriate Web content; increase productivity by removing Internet distractions;
protect the network from threats delivered by Internet services and applications;
and preserve network resources. M86 Security has more than 10 years of
pioneering leadership in filtering technology and is widely recognized as the
premier appliance-based filtering solution on the market. The R3000 Internet
filtering solution features single-source support, simple and straight-forward
pricing, and product design that meets the needs of a wide range of filtering expec-
tations.
M86 Security offers a wide range of Internet filtering and reporting appliances that
not only help companies maintain compliance with laws such as the California
Security Breach Information Act (CSBIA) (see http://www.8e6.com/resources/
internet-security-compliance-laws/), but also help protect the security of a
company's network infrastructure. With no premiums, easy to install and use, and
24-7 technical support, M86 Security is the perfect choice for overburdened IT
administrators and managers.
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing to review the 8e6 R3000 Internet Filter. The R3000 tracks
end users' online activity and can be configured to block specific Web sites or
service ports, thereby protecting organizations against lost productivity, constricted
bandwidth and possible legal liability resulting from Internet content.
This product also features expansive content categories (called libraries), instant
message and peer-to-peer blocking, user authentication, and intuitive administra-
tive navigation. All of these features are provided in a true appliance that provides
speed and stability unmatched by any software product. In addition, the R3000 is
fail-safe giving administrators the peace of mind that filtering won't ever impact the
network's performance—or shut it down.
The R3000 appliance is designed to complement existing security measures by
providing protection from threats inside the network—the threats most often
unseen and discovered too late.
