StreamShield Unveils Gateway

LONDON -- StreamShield NetworksÔ, the leader in real-time internet content security, today announces its next generation product solution that enables service providers and network operators to offer their subscribers clean and safe internet services free from infected, unwanted and inappropriate content. StreamShield is the first company to provide ultra high-speed, internet-based protection for both email and real-time applications with full per-user personalisation of the clean internet service.

The centrepiece of StreamShield’s product solution is the CSG-3100 content security gateway – a carrier class networking product designed for deployment within the service provider’s infrastructure. The CSG-3100’s real-time hardware platform is capable of scanning 250,000 webpage requests per second for unacceptable content, and 5,000 emails a second for viruses and spam. This unparalleled level of performance is achieved through StreamShield’s patent-pending, silicon-based content processing engine StreamScanÔ.

The CSG-3100 integrates with the StreamShield.Net threat update service. StreamShield.Net collates the latest threat information from StreamShield’s anti-virus and website classification partners, and automatically distributes this information in real-time to the CSG-3100 systems located in the service provider’s network for immediate protection against new threats.

Geoff Bennett, StreamShield’s Director of Product Marketing, comments: “StreamShield’s new product solution radically changes the way protection against internet threats is provided to residential and business users. For the first time, web and email threats can be identified and blocked in the service provider’s network, with each subscriber being able to customise the clean internet service to their own individual requirements. Our announcement today is the first major step to making the dream of a clean internet a reality.”
