Google Ecosystem: An Appliance Appliance
September 1, 2008
Network Box has released a web content filtering technology to support Google Safe Search and Safe Browsing functions. Device Management Forum’s “Network Box Releases Web Content Filtering System for Google Safe Search and Safe Browsing.” You can read the story dated August 25, 2008, here. According to the story,
Network Box USA customers will now have a content filtering engine that uses Google’s Safe Browsing system to check URL requests against Google’s constantly updated blacklist of suspected phishing- and malware-infested web pages. These web filter categories will be in addition to Network Box’s existing anti-virus and anti-phishing solution, which uses Kaspersky and ClamAV to inspect pages for malicious content.
With a bit of work, this “box” could be used in tandem with Google Search Appliances and other functionality added to bolster the GSA in certain environments. An appliance for an appliance strikes me as an interesting innovation in the Google ecosystem. You can learn more about Network Box. Mind the url, please. http://www.network-box.com/
