iPrism
Internet Access Management
Product Overview
iPrism® is
the Internet access management solution of choice used by Information
Technology and Human Resource professionals to help enforce an Internet
Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) within an organization. Winner of the coveted CRN Magazine "Editors' Choice" Award, iPrism is a hardware appliance that
monitors, filters and reports on inappropriate Internet access within
businesses, schools and government agencies.
Features and Benefits
Enforces Web Usage Policies
As Internet access becomes a required cost of doing business,
the need to monitor and control usage has also become increasingly necessary.
St. Bernard’s iPrism addresses the need for organizations to manage Internet
access effectively and efficiently using one or more centralized devices. Unlike
software-based filtering solutions that require a separate server, iPrism is a
dedicated Internet filtering appliance, completely self contained and
transparent to the end user. iPrism’s accuracy, customizable policies
and comprehensive management reports make
it the Internet access management solution of choice for Information Technology
and Human Resources professionals looking to effectively
enforce their Internet Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP).
Maximum Features /
Minimum Expense
iPrism offers superior interoperability, flexibility and a suite
of customization features. iPrism is designed to maximize performance and
reliability for monitoring, blocking and reporting on an organization’s Web
activity. It is also an extremely cost-effective solution that requires no
additional hardware or software to purchase, install, manage or maintain. iPrism
provides automatic database updates as well as upgrades for the operating system
and application software. Customers also benefit from having only one vendor to
call for support - for both hardware and software questions at no additional
cost.
By using iPrism, companies, government agencies and schools can
enhance user productivity, reduce liability and optimize network bandwidth usage
- all with a low total cost of ownership and maximum flexibility.
