About Bloxx

Bloxx, the enterprise Web filtering company, offers appliance-based Web filtering for medium and large organizations in both the business and public sectors. Established in 1999, Bloxx is a privately held company with offices in the U.S., U.K., The Netherlands, and Australia. It grew to be the premier independent provider of Web filtering across Europe, and, in 2007, Bloxx was recognized by Deloitte as one of the U.K.’s Top 50 Fastest Growing Technology Companies in its prestigious “Fast 50.”

The company’s success and expansion is a direct result of its patented Tru-View Technology, which analyzes, categorizes and filters web pages in real time with multi-tiered filtering algorithms. Its cutting-edge intelligence helps organizations proactively manage user access to Web content. Overall, the technology serves to increase productivity, reduce risk and liability and improve network security and use. It is an intuitive solution that is easy to install, manage, and use and dramatically reduces IT management time.

Tru-View Technology: Third-Generation Web Filtering

Developed by Bloxx’s research labs, Tru-View Technology improved upon traditional filtering, which only relies on URL databases and keywords. These first and second-generation methods are quickly growing obsolete as the Internet expands and anonymous proxies and other avoidance techniques gain speed. Only Tru-View Technology’s ability to scan and analyze the content of Web pages in real time, coupled with an optimized URL database and keyword scoring, keeps pace with these changes. Attempts at accessing blocked URLs can be classified, categorized and tracked based on a company’s Acceptable Use Policies.

The Bloxx Tru-View filtering appliance provides further Web threat protection through IM and P2P blocking, File Download Management, and malware blocking (anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-phishing). These features are standard with every unit.

The Internet Watch Foundation

Bloxx is a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)

The IWF is the only recognized organisation in the UK operating an internet ‘Hotline’ for the public and IT professionals to report their inadvertent exposure to potentially illegal content online.

The aim of the IWF is to minimise the availability of potentially illegal internet content, specifically:

child sexual abuse images hosted anywhere in the world
criminally obscene content hosted in the UK
incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK

The IWF works in partnership with UK Government departments such as the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to influence initiatives and programmes developed to combat online abuse. This dialogue goes beyond the UK and Europe, to ensure greater awareness of global issues and responsibilities.
