The new version Network Composer v.8 has the ability to filter HTTP traffic over SSL connections, commonly referred to as HTTPS, as well as layer 7 and dynamic content analysis for blocking anonymous proxy activity - allowing administrators to take full control over Internet traffic. The latest release of its award-winning secure web gateway appliance addresses both web browsing content and Internet application activity to ensure resources are ready for mission critical traffic. With Network Composer's new Full HTTPS Content Filtering™ feature, even secure web content is subject to filtering policies. Its Anonymous Proxy Guard™ feature has also been enhanced to block anonymous proxies, even if they're implemented over HTTPS connections. Even more, in addition, any spyware content hidden within HTTPS connections will be blocked. These three features provide administrators with the tools to easily apply usage policies to both secure and unsecure traffic.

    Kevin Urso, CEO at Connected Technology a Cymphonix channel partner, said: Network Composer Version 8 provides our customers -- specifically in the education market -- the capabilities they need. Version 8 allows our customers to provide safer connectivity for students by preventing even advanced attempts to bypass content filters."

    In addition, Brent Nixon, President of Cymphonix, said: "HTTPS traffic and anonymous proxy usage present a huge issue for traditional filtering devices. They make it extremely easy to bypass traditional content filters, and yet companies need to control content for regulatory compliance and risk mitigation. Our latest release gives small and medium-sized organizations unparalleled policy enforcement because it controls secured traffic just as tightly as unsecured traffic."

    Because the new solution can fully inspect HTTPS traffic, it also includes reporting on HTTPS browsing activity by user, and the chance to limit or prioritize streaming media traveling over an HTTPS connection. These new features offer administrators the visibility and control they require over secure web traffic -- so they can prioritize resources for important traffic and limit liability from Internet connection abuse.

    Cymphonix has simplified its price list making it easier for partners to offer and customers to purchase exactly what they need with the release of Version 8 and the addition of the new hardware platforms. Both the Version 8 release and the new price list go into effect October 1, 2007. The new release will be available on Cymphonix's complete product line. Customers with current annual software maintenance (ASM) agreements will be able to download the software for no additional charge.
