K-12 Education HTTPS & Anonymous Proxies

 

Effective Internet Security Demands Control Over Filter Bypass Methods

An anonymous proxy is a proxy server that hides user requested content by stripping the "blocked" site's IP address from the request. As the traffic passes through a traditional content filter, the only information recognized is the IP address of the proxy server. If this proxy is not on the filter's blacklist, the information packet is allowed to pass and the user is able to access inappropriate content without administrators and management knowing.

 

Stop Anonymous Proxy and Filter Avoidance from Bypassing your Content Filter

The most robust filter avoidance controls for small and medium sized organizations, Network Composer stops even the most complicated and newest anonymous proxy and filter avoidance mechanisms. The inline deep packet inspection architecture provides the most robust anonymous proxy and filter avoidance solution in the industry. Network Composer uses a combined approach of application classification, URL categorization, Dynamic Content Analysis and HTTPS inspection.

 

  • Anonymous Proxy GuardTM: Deep packet inspection identifies HTTP traffic regardless of port, protocol or application type to quickly identify and block unwanted URL traffic.
  • Filter Avoidance Dynamic Content Analysis: Anonymous proxies and filter avoidance sites get blocked automatically by our dynamic content analysis engine
  • Database Matching: Commonly used site are matched against a comprehensive anonymous proxy and filter avoidance database.
  • HTTPS Anonymous Proxy Protection: SSL decrypt-recrypt allows for full content inspection for HTTPS sites
  • Certificate Verification: Checks SSL certificates for appropriate authorization to block sites with spoofed certificates
  • SSL Certificate Filter with Deny Access Page: Unique to Network Composer, the device can display a blocked page for secured sites that have been blocked due to certificate violations
  • Filter Avoidance Hourly Updates: Active technology searches filter avoidance threats and sends hourly updates to your device, so you don't have to maintain a blocked list

 

Granular Reporting

Network Composer provides administrators with visibility into details of your Internet traffic. The drill down capability allows you to get all the information you need on user/group activity, web traffic, application traffic and threat sources. The reporting engine is integrated into the Network Composer and does not require a standalone report server.
