We implemented the BlueCoat ProxySG product last summer and have been extre=
mely pleased with the results. Our main goal was to reduce the number of v=
irus/malware infected machines on the network by not allowing users to inad=
vertently download malicious software so we are only filtering the "known b=
ad" categories, but we have seen a dramatic decrease in virus/malware activ=
ity with very few complaints ( 4 that I can recall) of sites that were "mis=
classified".

Subject: URL/Content Filtering Recomendations
A couple departments on campus have specifically asked for use to provide t=
hem with a content/URL filtering solution for select systems. That last t=
ime I had experience with content filtering was with N2H2 6-7 years ago.
I was wondering what the good tried and tested products are now for doing t=
his?
Thanks much!
