In schools and colleges, students will often use popular tools to access top social web destinations such as YouTube, MySpace and Facebook, despite being typically blocked by school IT staff. Students use Anonymisers which create huge security holes, hacker portals for data theft, spyware, viruses and worms.
    
In the workplace, Anonymisers give employees access to offensive or illegal content by making end-runs around corporate network defenses. Even if these events are isolated, they can precipitate costly and public lawsuits if co-workers are exposed to content.
    
Violations of acceptable use and security policies can have serious legal and regulatory consequences for organisations that fail to protect their workers from inappropriate content or data theft Anonymiser sites and fringe sites that offer illegal or offensive content often covertly deliver malware. Even if the original computer user logs off, the machine can start delivering offensive popups to other users who log on to that computer.

iPrism Web Filter
iPrism Web Filter’s powerful anonymiser defense surpasses all competitors:

• iPrism detects and blocks anonymiser traffic that tries to spoof secure traffic.
• With iPrism’s on-the-fly proxy detection administrators can run reports to show what anonymisers were blocked including proxy blocking of: UltraSurf domain; The Google-web-accelerator domain; The http-proxy domain 
• Real-time Updates: Proxy URLs are collected and message groups are monitored daily for new anonymisers. These results are distributed via iGuard URL database updates as prequalified websites. 
• Active Domain IP Address Mapping: The ability to circumvent iPrism using IP addresses is blocked with this mapping feature. iPrism dynamically cross-references each IP address to its corresponding domain thwarting even the most sophisticated attempts to obscure Web surfing and access forbidden sites.
