8e6 - Enterprise Level Filtering for the Remote & Mobile User

The corporate world is becoming more remote and mobile everyday. Driven by improvements in wireless technologies and mobile devices, large numbers of employeses are working in smaller remote offices, at home or on the road. However, most corporate IT staffs do not have a comprehensive and cost effective solution to enforce Internet use policies for remote or mobile users.

To address these urgent needs, 8e6 Technologies has developed the 8e6 Client to filter and secure off-site users from accessing inappropriate and malicious content of the Internet. As a software-based application that works in conjunction with an R3000 appliance, it’s simple to deploy, manage and maintain. The 8e6 Client provides enterprise-level filtering for your laptops and remote employees anytime, anywhere regardless of their Internet connection.

This diagram illustrates how the 8e6 Client installed on a mobile laptop is filtered by a remote 8e6 R3000 on the Internet, which in return sends its Web traffic logs to a centralised 8e6 Enterprise Reporter within the corporate LAN for reporting.
