McAfee has a product called Site Advisor. It has an optional web filtering plugin that lets you set a PC-based filter policy for web browsing. The filtering is pretty effective (the policy lives on the PC and it does URL categorization lookups to a McAfee server over the Internet).
It works as a browser helper object on IE or as a plug-in on Firefox, so a determined user could get around it. -Malcolm From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 15:00 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Management of laptops Folks, Any suggestions on products to manage laptops? We have a number of nomadic users who use their issued laptops with aircards. Sometimes they have a wired or wireless connection, but not at any of my locations (these staff work off-site). Staff don't have much access, they are all "users". I am looking for a product whereby I can enforce similar content filtering/web surfing filtering as my corporate fire walls. I assume I'd need some sort of client for the laptops that would occasionally check in to a central system for updates. We are a Fortinet shop, and I'm looking at the Forticlient, but am looking at alternatives. We have an issue with viruses on these machines (usually blocked, but I get the notices), and that's usually from staff going to web sites that would be blocked at the corporate level. Suggestions appreciated.
