K9 Web Protection Description:
Blue
Coat Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BCSI), a leading provider of Web security and WAN
optimization solutions, today introduced the K9™ Web Protection Browser for
iOS, a free, downloadable, family-safe Web browser for Apple iPads, iPhones and
Web-enabled iPod Touch devices.
The browser provides immediate and highly
accurate protection from content that is not appropriate for young children,
including pornography, hate/violence, illegal drugs and gambling. In addition,
the browser protects against phishing and malware. It is simple to install and
use.
“The K9 Web Protection Browser leverages
the power and intelligence of Blue Coat’s leading Web security technology to
keep children and families safe online wherever they access the Internet.”
With the popularity of iPad, iPod Touch
and iPhone mobile devices as gifts for children this holiday season, the door
is wide open for them to fall victim to the dangers of the Internet,” said
Steve Daheb, chief marketing officer and senior vice president, Blue Coat
Systems. “The K9 Web Protection Browser leverages the power and intelligence of
Blue Coat’s leading Web security technology to keep children and families safe
online wherever they access the Internet.
As with Blue Coat’s K9 Web Protection software
for PC and Mac computers, the K9 Web Protection Browser uses the company’s
cloud-based WebPulse™ service that provides users with up-to-the-moment
protection from objectionable content and threats, including phishing, malware
and malicious content. The WebPulse service also continually categorizes new
and evolving Web content, giving parents the ability to immediately block
objectionable material.
The WebPulse service is driven by the
real-time Web experience of over 70 million users around the world so that it
can quickly find and identify new content and block the latest sources of
objectionable content, phishing and malware sites. For example, on a typical
day the WebPulse service identifies over 110,000 pages of new or previously
uncategorized pornography and adult content.
The K9 Web Protection Browser runs in
the place of Safari or other browsers that lack content controls necessary to
keep children and families safe online. As with K9 Web Protection for PC and
Mac computers, Blue Coat provides the K9 Web Protection Browser free of charge
to families individuals as a community service.
