F-Secure integrates PureSight's Parental Control features into its flagship ISP product -- Security as a Service Suite

(PRWEB) September 27, 2004 -- F-Secure Corporation (HEX: FSC) and PureSight, Inc. of San Clemente, Calif. today announced that the F-Secure Security as a Service concept is being extended to include Parental Control functionality based on PureSight, Inc.'s leading edge Internet Content Filtering SDK.

F-Secure's Security as a Service concept, a turnkey solution to Internet Service Providers, already provides automated desktop security services like anti-virus, personal firewall and spam filtering that can be easily combined with an ISPs existing service portfolio. The new addition of PureSight's Parental Control will be fully integrated to the existing security suite. In addition, built-in customization and branding support allows service providers to bring the services into the market under their own brands.

Feedback from the Internet users and service providers clearly shows the need to include Parental Control capabilities in our security suite. The PureSight SDK, allowed us to easily integrate content filtering capabilities. We chose PureSight, foremost for its advanced, revolutionary technology. Furthermore, with no daily updates and minimum maintenance needs, PureSight has provided us with the best possible solution. As the need for protection increases, we are happy to announce that we are adding leading edge technology, such as PureSight, to our service provider concept," says Kalle Korpi, Sales Director at F-Secure Corporation.

F-Secure provides solutions to the leading Telco operators and ISPs like: Deutsche Telekom in Germany, Wanadoo in France, TeliaSonera in Sweden and Finland, Charter Communications in U.S. and many more.

PureSight, Inc. is delivering leading edge solutions for Internet Content Filtering. Recently named SC Magazine's "Best of 2003" in the content filtering category, the company is finding growing interest among ISPs worldwide who want to deliver advanced, easy to use, content filtering solutions to their subscribers.
