DynaComm i:filter has been selected by Surrey County Council to manage its corporate Internet resources

Houston, TX-May 27, 2002

FutureSoft, Inc. has announced Surrey County Council is the latest organization to adopt its corporate Internet access management product, DynaComm i:filter, to manage Internet use across the organization, covering 6,000 users at over 300 sites. Morgan Rees, security analyst at the Council, commented: “We needed a Web monitoring solution which could effectively support our ‘Acceptable Use Policy’ for the Council's corporate Internet resources. DynaComm i:filter met all our requirements, and was fully operational very quickly.”

DynaComm i:filter monitors and logs Internet traffic to individual users, capturing logon names and tying Internet activity to the user as well as workstation. It also captures logon information whether users are logged on locally or to a domain. DynaComm i:filter features a database of over 4 million unique Web domains - the largest in the industry - and can filter and block access to Web content by categories or individual Web domains. Administrators can also create their own category definitions, and add Web sites, to further customize Internet access management.

DynaComm i:filter gives administrators a single point of access for all configuration and management functions, including Network Monitors, Rules, Users, Categories and Scheduling. The DynaComm Traffic Monitor utility, included with DynaComm i:filter, delivers real-time bandwidth monitoring, further enhancing network traffic management capabilities. DynaComm i:filter also features extensive and customizable reporting capabilities which model a company's Web usage patterns, including many pre-defined reports tracking personal usage, peak usage, usage by category, blocked requests by user, browse time by user and more.

Rees continued: “Setting the rules in DynaComm i:filter is extremely straightforward, and the product enables us to manage corporate Internet access precisely, according to our AUP. The reports are comprehensive, and we can monitor Web traffic and Internet use accurately to maintain network performance.”

He concluded: “We are very pleased with the performance of DynaComm i:filter, and FutureSoft has been responsive to our needs and requirements. DynaComm i:filter has helped ensure corporate Internet resources are being used productively and responsibly across the Council. It enables all representatives to use the Web confidently, without being worried about encountering inappropriate material.”
