November 17, 2003 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — SonicWALL, Inc. (sonicwall.com) a
r

provider of Internet security solutions, today launched “CFS Premium,” an
r

expanded version of its content filtering service.
r

r

According to the company, the new service is now available in both
r

government/education and business versions.
r

r

The CFS Premium Editions are designed to broaden the current scope of
r

firm’s CFS Standard Edition by increasing the number of filtered categories
r

from 12 to 56 while enhancing the policy-setting features available to
r

network administrators.

“Businesses of every size are looking for effective ways to improve
r

productivity. Optimizing their bandwidth by limiting access to bandwidth-
r

hogging or districting applications like Internet radio is one way,” said
r

Matt Medeiros, president and CEO of SonicWALL. “Filtering out Web sites with
r

inappropriate content can also limit their exposure to hostile work
r

environment lawsuits.”

r

PRO 4060 platforms for $1,495 a year, and on the TZ 170 platform for $995 a

uses a dynamic database of URLs, IP addresses, and domains to block
r

multiple categories of objectionable content.
