PlusNet has begun a technical trial of StreamShield's clean Internet platform. The technology enables ISPs to provide their subscribers with real-time protection against viruses, spyware, adware, inappropriate content and other threats:
Recent research conducted by NOP shows that over half of the consumers questioned (51%) want their ISP to block spyware applications, and only 30% run spyware checks on their system. Deployed within the ISP's network, StreamShield's technology delivers comprehensive protection without the ISP's customers having to install, configure and maintain specialist software in their PCs.
StreamShield achieves the unprecedented levels of performance demanded by large-scale service provider networks through a unique silicon-based scanning engine called StreamScan. Designed to scan up to 250,000 web page requests per second, StreamScan enables highly personalised content security protection to be delivered within the service provider's network without diminishing network performance.
