Australian web filtering company Content Keeper has claimed it is in a “plum position” to work
with ISPs if the new government’s plan for ISP-level filtering goes ahead. CommsDay spoke with
CEO Geoff Wood, who said that the scheme could be implemented quickly and easily, depending
on the depth of proposed legislation.
“Our product is one of the only ones that does it in a very large environment... we’re really plum
in regards to position for exactly this kind of capability,” said Wood. “It depends on the depth of the
Labor policy, meaning is it going to be as simple as the ACMA blacklist? All the ISP’s could implement
that within weeks without a lot of heartache.”
Content Keeper is a Canberra-based ICT security company, and has implemented its hardwarebased
filtering product in up to 80% of Federal government organisations. It has established distribution
channels throughout Europe and is now pushing into Asian and Indian markets for growth.
“We’re certainly being welcomed with open arms in that region,” Wood said. He claims that 50% of its business is currently in Australia, but its surging Indian and south-east Asia business
may tilt the balance in the near future. . “We’re looking this year at just sort of 100% growth, which
is absolutely phenomenal, but we happen to be the right type of company at the right place at the
right time.”

ContentKeeper is able to block Instant Messenger and P2P file transfer.
September 27, 2007
The rapid growth of the Internet has expanded opportunities to a point previously unimagined - business is conducted from all around the world. Companies need to employ many modes of data communication in order to compete and deal with business partners, clients and customers. Data communication is carried out by means of Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer file transfers/sharing.
Instant messaging software and other ‘chat’ type programs are incredibly powerful tools and offer organizations a competitive advantage of timely delivery of information. Organizations must be seen as keeping up with the times, therefore participation in this new means of communication is essential. Simply blocking employees’ use could result in blocking potential sales. However the threat of data leakage is immediate and serious.
ContentKeeper has the solution.
ContentKeeper monitors Instant Messenger, Skpye and similar chat protocols, as well as P2P file sharing programs and uniquely provides the capability to block IM file or video transfers. This means that files cannot get in or out of your organization while still allowing users of Instant Messaging to communicate (chat). This gives the ContentKeeper Unified Threat Management solution a massive lead relative to the other solutions offered.
Blocking file transfer through chat programs and P2P applications aids in securing your organization’s resources in several ways:
- Firstly; data leakage is reportedly the leading IT threat, therefore blocking and monitoring uploads/downloads this popular form of communication mitigates risk;
- Secondly; creators of Malware and Spyware with malicious intent are using vulnerable P2P as the bridge or entry point to your organization’s network. A popular IM tool was recently forced to send out an alert regarding a worm infection in its software. This worm infiltrated several firms’ networks, causing a major security breach.
The risks that companies can face due to P2P/instant messaging usage includes legal, security risks and infrastructure risks. Research indicates that 45 per cent of the executable files downloaded through Kazaa (a popular P2P application) contains malicious code like viruses and Trojan horses . Such viruses and worms also widen the risk of sharing private files, unintentionally, with others over the Internet leading to the issue of data leakage. In addition to this, organizations can also face risks to infrastructure in terms of increased bandwidth due to increased sharing of large files (movies, software, music, etc) over P2P networks.
Filtering or at the very least monitoring Chat programs and other P2P applications is a major advancement in the technology of our solution. No other solution can provide you with the continued efficiency of Instant Messenger applications as a means of communication, while blocking the malware/spyware coming in, and blocking your firms valuable data from getting out. Can your business afford such risks? ContentKeeper’s Unified Threat Management solution is your best defence to ward of risks associated with P2P/Chat and is focused on providing the right solution for your company.
ContentKeeper has raised the bar in IT security again!

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) provide the means to encrypt data on secure communication channels.
