I work in a hospital setting... trust me I know... Fine tuning is definitely needed, but sometimes its like picking a needle out of a haystick and the needle is the same color as the hay... Clear as mud right?

Try this in a hospital setting. A simple search word like breast would be very common in this setting but would also kick off a multitude of porn sites. We are rolling out a new Barracuda web filter and it amazes me looking at the traffic. I can tell this is going to take some work to fine tune it though. d -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 2:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Web Filtering hits and misses, your ideas? And for the most part it requires a human to figure out what it is. Is it art or is it porn for example. To quote Justice Potter Stewart: ' I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.' Web filtering suffers from the same problems as signature-based anti-virus, but orders of magnitude worse. There's too much stuff to ever hope to keep track of it all; there's too much legitimate stuff that one can't predict; it's not like software where one can often limit the field to a handful of things needed. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin This e-mail contains the thoughts and opinions of the sender and does not represent official Parkview Medical Center policy.
