8e6 Technologies, a security company dedicated to Internet filtering and reporting, has announced the general availability of its new laptop filtering solution for the enterprise market. The new 8e6 Mobile Client works on both Macs and PCs and enables enterprises to enforce Internet Acceptable Use Policies for all employees using corporate laptops, whether they’re logged onto the corporate network or not.
The 8e6 Mobile Client provides a way for organizations to protect remote devices from exposure to malware and from the legal liability associated with employees accessing inappropriate content, according to Paul Myer, president and COO at 8e6 Technologies. When an employee leaves the organization’s network and attempts to access the web, the 8e6 Mobile Client sends a copy of the requested URL to an 8e6 Mobile Appliance located in the organization’s DMZ. This approach provides all mobile laptop users with the same filtering experience outside the corporate network that they receive inside the network, and ensures all employees are governed by their corporate Internet AUP, Myer says.
The Mobile Client is centrally managed from the 8e6 Management Console. Contact 8e6 for pricing options.
