It's administrative tools could use improvement, and users with slower hardware will grouse about the performance hit. But there's no arguing that it stops the viruses. Spam and viruses are external problems, and few employees would disagree with your efforts to control them. But should your organization build a Web access policy, CyberPatrol can enforce it, using the vendor's list of naughty sites, called the CyberNOT list, and your own list of known time-wasters or inappropriate Web destinations. CyberPatrol requires a Windows NT 4 server, with Microsoft's Proxy Server 2 software installed.
Installation is very straightforward.
The process took less than half an hour, thanks to the product's extremely thorough documentation. Of course, CyberPatrol itself won't work properly unless the enterprise LAN is configured to require the use of Proxy Server. That means that all clients must be configured to use the proxy server, and that the Web firewall must block outgoing HTTP requests originating from any source except the proxy server. Otherwise, users can readily bypass the entire protection system. CyberPatrol's settings are controlled through its own local graphical management application.
