“The real-time updating is a tremendous asset... we’re always protected against even brand-new threats” Leland Foster, Christian Church Homes

The web is a rapidly evolving place and the pace of change increases every day.  For all the positive content created online, the fastest changes take place in the murkiest corners of the web.  In fact, most proxy and phishing sites are online for less than 24hours.  Yet, highly organized search, social and email campaigns drive massive numbers of unsuspecting users to them before they get shut down.  The traditional malware protection companies just can’t write signature fast enough to keep up… but this is precisely where Web Filter excels.

Web filter was originally built to combat online security threats where rapid reaction to emerging threats was paramount.  Web Filter's Distributed Intelligence Architecture leverages the power of its wide implementation by verifying and classifying every new website and webpage that its userbase browses to with algorithmic triggers and a team of 70 professionally trained multilingual web analysts.  While 99.9% of users browse sites that are already classified within Web Filter's  100M+ database, the new sites that users find are classified and updated to the hosted database in realtime so that all Web Filter customers benefit instantly.
