RE: WebSense

[miko () client-server co at]

I would suggest to have a look to Smartfilter of Securecomputing, a good solution if
you are using squid-proxy or MS. It wok with all FW´s but than the stat´s are not very
strong.

If you are in europe, the smartfilter implemention of SIEMENS Germany
(www.smartfilter.de) are the best of, as you can have for most countries specific
versions to scan the national url´s ( for example xxx.de (germany), xxx.fr (french)
a.s.o. in addition to the internationals.
