eSoft Adds Windows® Version of SiteFilter SDK for Blocking Web 2.0 Threats
September 2008 by Marc Jacob
eSoft, Inc., a vendor of OEM technologies for the Internet security and content management markets, announced today that it has ported its SiteFilter Software Development Kit (SDK) to the Windows platform, allowing partners who have products on the popular platform to easily incorporate safe web surfing policy controls into their products.
eSoft’s SiteFilter offering, with over 100 million URLs in more than 50 categories, together with eSoft’s unique ability to team a high-performance local database with rapid “cloud-based” look-up and real-time classification, provides hardware and software vendors and service providers with a cost-effective way to improve and extend their existing content filtering and security technologies.
eSoft’s SiteFilter focuses on identifying malicious pages, infected websites, phishing scams and other harmful Internet content as it appears, even if it appears on otherwise trusted websites such as YouTube or FaceBook. Additionally, eSoft categorises pages so partners can create policy engines that block games, social networking, gambling, pornography and other categories of websites that may not be appropriate in classrooms, the workplace, or elsewhere. Near real-time updates keep end-users from going to new malicious websites or circumventing filters by using anonymising proxies.
