Review: SurfControl Web Filter

SurfControl is, arguably, the granddaddy of the web content filtering class. Supplied as software, this product requires its own server platform running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and SQLServer. Its straightforward drag-and-drop rules engine makes policy creation easy. However, deployment, setup, and configuration were a bit more demanding than for similar products.

Review: SurfControl Web Filter

Review: SurfControl Web Filter

This venerable product is, as one would expect from one with its pedigree, fully loaded with features. As well as a full-service customizable URL filter, SurfControl contains an anti-spam agent, spyware shield, instant messaging and peer-to-peer shields, anti-virus, and games protection. The differences between this product and our Best Buys are minimal and we rate SurfControl highly recommended.

Review: SurfControl Web Filter

SurfControl's Web Filter is, perhaps, the best known web filtering product on the market. We reviewed the Windows version of the product, but there are also versions available for Cisco CE, Check Point, Microsoft ISA and several third-party appliances, including Blue Coat and Finjan, both in this test. The standard Windows version is flexible – but you will need one copy of the filter per network.

Review: SurfControl E-mail Filter

Review: SurfControl E-mail Filter

This product provides a content-filtering SMTP gateway on the Windows 2000/2003 Server operating system. It can share a server with other applications, but a dedicated server is recommended. It is available as a plug-in for Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and 2000, which can then police internal emails. It has open relay protection.

Review: SurfControl E-mail Filter

Review: SurfControl E-mail Filter

Security has been the mainstay of SurfControl's business for quite some time, so it is no surprise to see an email security solution. A policy-based application, SurfControl E-mail Filter is actually an SMTP host through which all mail is diverted.

Installation is amazingly simple. It's just a matter of entering the required information into a few windows and telling the product where it sits in relation to the email server. For reasons of economy, it can be installed on the same machine as the mail server, but for reasons of reliability this isn't recommended.
