BroadWeb BSST Assists Enterprises barring Employees from accessing YouTube Video Sharing Website

BURLINGAME, Calif. – November 21, 2006 – BroadWeb Corporation, a leader in intrusion prevention, today announced that NetKeeper Series regulates the YouTube traffic on the managed networks. YouTube is a popular free video sharing Web site which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Founded in February 2005, the website is based on service that utilizes Adobe Flash technology to display video. The wide variety of site content includes movie and TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging.

Playing video clips online will consume some extend of the bandwidth of the corporate network and these video clips will greatly reduce the employees’ productivity if viewed during the office hours.

BroadWeb BSST has devised two signatures targeting specifically the YouTube website and its services and deters the unauthorized network behaviors by blocking the YouTube Online stream media attempt through Online Macromedia Flash Video (FLV) stream via the http protocols and blocking the YouTube Online login attempt. Enterprises may calibrate the signatures settings to ubiquitous prevent network users from accessing the YouTube website.

“Developing the network usage preventative measures such as YouTube is nothing personal against them,” said Mr. Mark Hsia, CEO of BroadWeb Corporation, “we simply set out to design a product that can maximize your network usage and corporate users’ productivity increase is an added bonus.”
