Network Box Adds "Live Watch" Trace Functionality for Mail, Web Proxy, Firewall and IDP
Gives Network Administrators Real Time Access to Employees' Online Behavior and to Set Filters for Inappropriate Web Sites

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 27, 2008) - Network Box USA, Inc. (www.networkboxusa.com),
the American arm of managed security company Network Box Corp., announced
today the release of "live watch" trace functionality for the Network Box
line of award-winning unified threat management (UTM) products. The
Network Box is a remotely-managed appliance that combines several
applications into a single, cost-effective device that lets organizations
easily combat hackers, worms, backdoors and other online menaces.
The innovative new trace functionality -- added to the appliance's mail,
web proxy, firewall and IDP (intrusion detection and prevention) modules --
allows network administrators to monitor the web sites that employees
access and to set filters for inappropriate sites, using web filter
categories set by Network Box OEM partner Websense (formerly SurfControl).
The "live watch" mode lets the administrator set the filter conditions and
view the traffic in real time from the user interface, my.network-box.com,
and in "historical" mode, they can monitor past online user activity. In
either mode, any potential threats arising from users viewing inappropriate
content are highlighted via a color-coding system.
"The ability to have real-time access to online user behavior, including
transactional data, is a significant benefit to our customers, in any type
of industry," said Pierluigi Stella, CTO of Network Box USA. "Adding 'live
watch' trace functionality to the many existing capabilities of the Network
Box device is just the latest example of the company's ongoing development
program for product enhancement."
The new trace functionality is now being rolled out, as part of Network
Box's managed security service, to all existing customers running the
product's NBRS-3.0 firmware. It is also included in all new Network Box
appliances, which are sold through Network Box USA's reseller channel.
