GuardLogic SC and the results of internet filtering tests

The websites dyzurnet.pl and saferintenet.pl recently published a report (available here) summarizing their tests of several home internet filtering (aka parental control) solutions.
GuardLogic’s flagship product, xTerminator, was among the applications tested. Although xTerminator is designed for the enterprise environment, it was part the comparison because of its unique ability to filter images from the internet based on their actual content.
While the tests were quite thorough, the GuardLogic team has some reservations regarding the testing criteria and the conclusions drawn in the report. One example is the decision to measure filtration efficiency as a function of the browser used. We believe that, since in some cases filtering/analysis of the content downloaded from the Internet takes place on a dedicated external server (xTerminator is an example if this type of software, known as content filtering proxy), the type of browser used should not affect the outcome. Also, many of the conclusions of the report are relevant mostly for client-based solutions and not to the xTerminator. For example, on page 23 the note that many solutions cannot cope with properly identifying foreign language pages containing only graphics - we believe that xTerminator is quite effectively in such situations.

Social media and GuardLogic's filltering technology

GuardLogic solves the problem of questionable and objectionable content flooding social media due to the popularity of sharing services.

 The inappropriate (questionable and objectionable content) may include but is not limited to: adult materials, x-rated games, drugs and drinking, violence and the promotion of terrorism, harassment and bullying, child abuse and acts of cruelty.

The described flooding directly endangers sites since offensive content may lead to the exodus of site’s target population of customers and potential law suits.

GuardLogic doesn’t just traditionally filter the content associated with specific sites. It intelligently (just like humans) recognizes and flags images and videos even if their tags do not include questionable or objectionable information.

 Guardlogic’s unique, artificial intelligence (machine learning) based image and video classification technology is computationally efficient and performs with unprecedented accuracy (confirmed by independent parties’ testing).

It detects image and video level components and stops inappropriate content not only from outside sources but also from being posted within the network or from hacked user accounts.

GuardLogic’s technology is available for licensing.
