Tangent Announces Web Hawk 3.0
Low Cost Content Filtering, Now with Real-time Content Recognition Technology.
BURLINGAME, CA, (October 16, 2007) - Tangent, Inc., a leading technology company, today announced Web Hawk 3.0, a second-generation content filtering solution designed with real-time content recognition technology combined with standard URL list technology.
Web Hawk offers similar features and benefits to Surf-Watch and Websense at approximately one third the cost, saving organizations thousands of dollars. Web Hawk is available direct from Tangent at www.tangent.com/webhawk.
Web Hawk real-time content recognition makes it more effective for administrators to block access to Proxy sites and foreign language adult content sites.
"There are estimated to be over 80 million adult content sites on the internet worldwide," said Doug Monsour Tangent's President. "Solutions that rely on standard URL list and keyword technology alone are not as effective as a solution that combines those technologies with real-time content recognition.
"Web Hawk employs Real-time Content Recognition to track image patterns, font styles, colors and many other features common to adult and proxy sites to sort them away from valid web sites and block user access," Monsour added. "Real-time Content Recognition combined with URL lists makes Web Hawk a better solution."
"In addition, organizations are paying far too much for content filtering solutions. Web Hawk has no software license fees and its update fees are priced at less than one third of what Websense and Surf-Watch are charging."
Features include: easy installation, Active Directory Integration, flexible rules and monitoring, page level blocking, email alert notifications, automated task schedulers to eliminate day-to-day administration, real-time Internet traffic / bandwidth utilization reporting.
Web Hawk supports Windows NT 4.0 SP6; Windows 2000 SP2 (or higher) operating systems; Windows XP SP1; Windows 2003; and Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher.
Web Hawk has no license fees. The total cost for annual update fees for a 500 seat network is less than $1,500, with numerous pricing discounts
available.
