Fourth antivirus firm buys into behavioural blocking

8e6 rocks

@Nicholas Ettel, that's a very odd statement to make in this day and age about a companies product name. In this case it's very accurate for what they do. Not to worry though they mainly deal with large organizations so I don't think they are going to be too upset that you won't consider buying their products.

My organization has been using 8e6's R3000 hardware for years. They are pretty sweet little 1U machines that analyze outgoing web traffic without actually holding it up, at least the way we have them configured. They are very versatile machines and, unlike other companies I deal with, 8e6's support is fantastic. To be fair we only use their equipment to filter web traffic not check for virus'. We use four of these boxes to filter the web traffic for all the public schools in North Dakota and while not 100% (what is except a whitelist?) they work pretty darn well.
