iSHIELD - Internet Security Monitoring and Management Device



iSHIELD is a Multi-layered Internet Monitoring and Management Device


The iShield device is a locally developed and supported device created in order to meet two primary internet needs of Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs):
1) Bandwidth Cost Control and 2) Network Protection.

Since the iShield has been released - over 5 years ago in the South African market - it has been very well received by end-users who want to control their monthly spend and internet usage. Continuous product development has ensured that the product now offers an extensive range of benefits at NO additional cost to you. The device automatically updates itself with the latest versions and tools.


Why the need for an internet monitoring device?

87% of employees surf non-work-related web sites at the office
46% browsing non-work-related sites on a daily basis
Over 25% of time spent on the internet at the office is for personal use

Today’s computing environment demands a multi-layered, multi-dimensional security strategy.

iShield is a critical layer of that strategy, filling the gaps left by traditional defences and blocking security threats before they reach the endpoint or extend throughout your network.
