Brokerage House Chooses TVT-250 To Monitor Web Activity
[UKPRwire, Tue Dec 18 2007] Bloxx, the European enterprise web filtering specialist, today announced that Craven and Partners Ltd. has selected its TVT-250 web filtering appliance to manage its entire workforce’s online activity. Replacing two separate legacy products from Bluecoat and WebSense, Bloxx TVT-250 will block sites which the insurance company deem offensive or allow employees to waste valuable working time.
Based in the heart of the London insurance community, Craven and Partners Ltd. is a Lloyds accredited brokerage house. The company provides insurance and reinsurance for the marine, energy and transportation sectors, with a Gross Written Premium of £50 million. All of Craven’s staff has access to the Internet and as such, the company understand the need to monitor its workers online activity.
“At Craven, we’ve always been proactive in protecting our staff online. Previously we were relying on a Bluecoat proxy and filtering from WebSense to keep our staff safe whilst surfing the net,” explains Craven ITC Manager, Harish Vekaria. Craven then discovered Bloxx TVT-250 - the appliance-based web filtering solution from Bloxx has the capacity to deliver the functionality of both the units from Bluecoat and WebSense combined. Tru-View Technology analyses and blocks sites quicker and more accurately than other first and second-generation web filters, which rely on manual classification and keyword scoring.
“Bloxx is not only economical, but also provides us with the granular control we need,” comments Vekaria. “The flexibility of Bloxx Tru-View Technology has allowed us to customise and tailor the sensitivity according to our user groups. In short, it fits perfectly into our system.”
“Keeping your staff safe online and protecting your IT network is imperative for today’s online world,” comments Bloxx Sales and Marketing Director, Paul Irvine. “Craven has attempted to safeguard its network using various tools in the past, however it’s fantastic when we hear that Bloxx Tru-View Technology has not only managed to further enhance our customers’ security barriers, but cut costs too.”
