Software Security Solutions CyberPatrol SiteSURV and SiteSURVplus

Software Security Solutions has two new services utilizing CyberPatrol products, which let you manage Internet activity and access: SiteSURV and SiteSURVplus.

SiteSURV runs in the background and filters Internet access from all computers sharing a common access point, such as a router or server. SiteSURV is a subscription service that works by changing from your company’s ISP-supplied DNS (Domain Name System) Internet access point to one provided by SiteSURV. Each time an Internet request is sent, it first goes to CyberPatrol’s SiteCAT database of more than 22 million sites to be checked as good or undesirable. Sites blocked by SiteSURV include pages with adult content, alcohol and tobacco, gambling, and spam, among others.

SiteSURVplus adds network Web access management to the package, allowing companies to choose their own settings based on 13 blocked categories and an additional 30 categories for allowed or blocked Web sites. With SiteSURVplus, CyberPatrol’s SiteCAT database is stored on a company’s network server, so all Internet requests are filtered locally—quickly and with less bandwidth usage. The database is updated hourly to ensure the most up-to-date information possible. Site-SURV and SiteSURVplus work with both PC and Mac systems.
