OEM Internet Filtering BluePrint Data, the leader in high quality OEM internet content filtering solutions is celebrating the one year anniversary of its Zero False Positive Internet Content Filtering and Zero False Positive Guarantee program. Users of BluePrint Data’s Web site / URL Content Filtering are guaranteed their users will not be blocked access to a URL due to it being wrongly categorized.

BluePrint Data’s “Zero False Positive Guarantee” program will credit new customers, who sign up under this program through April 30 2012, $500 for each separate occurrence where the customer’s end user is disallowed access to a website because BluePrint Data has incorrectly categorized it [1]. Blocking a Web site / URL that should be allowed can disrupt business operations and negatively impact productivity.

A false positive is when a web site or URL is improperly categorized. BluePrint Data encourages potential customers to evaluate vendors and suppliers based on their false positive rate. BluePrint Data is the only company to complete 100% of web site reviews with a minimum of two human reviewers categorizing each web site. Providers of Internet Security products and services that include or OEM Web content filtering (i.e. URL Filtering) have higher false positive rates than BluePrint Data due to their reliance on automated content categorization methods and procedures.

The BluePrint Data review system consists of web site reviews that are independently categorized by multiple reviewers to ensure the categories match prior to the information being added to the master URL Review database. For example reviewer A receives the URL www.example.com and categorizes it as “Nudity”, independently reviewer B receives the same URL and reviews it as “Nudity” so the URL is added to the master URL Review database. If, for example, reviewer B categorized the URL content as “Intimate Apparel / Swimsuits”, the URL is then independently provided for a third categorization review by reviewer C.

“BluePrint Data’s Zero False Positive Internet Filtering Guarantee is just one additional way we prove our value to our existing and potential customers.” said Bob Dahlstrom BluePrint Data’s CEO. “By completing the most accurate web site / URL categorizations possible, and standing behind our quality with our Zero False Positive Guarantee, BluePrint Data proves again we offer the best quality OEM internet filter product and service available.”

Internet Filtering provider and leader in high quality OEM internet content filtering solutions BluePrint Data is expanding its integration tools and utilities with the addition of a locally installable “Content Engine”. The configurable software, provided free by BluePrint Data, enables companies to have a locally installable “URL Lookup” tool for a plethora of devices from local home or small business routers to network gateway appliances or data center servers.

The locally installable Content Engine works with BSD, Linux, OSX, and Windows operating systems (both clients and servers). BluePrint Data provides both the compiled product as well as the source code for easy of customization and modification. The Content Engine can be configured with a variable cache size from zero to a local copy of the full BluePrint Data URL Filter database. URL/web page lookups are directed to the Content Engine as HTML, JSON or XML requests and the Content Engine responds with one of the 66 categories BluePrint Data uses to classify web site content. Queries can be limited to a web site or domain or allow within web site domain information.

The Content Engine returns approximately 1,500 requests per second running on a standard “off the shelf” computer with a single processor and 4 GB of memory. The Content Engine works by looking for a requested URL in the cache (which can be either in memory or on disk) and returning the content information for the requested URL. If the information does not exist in the cache, information is retrieved in real time from the BluePrint Data Cloud URL Filter Lookup service and is cached locally. The Time to Live for the cached data is a configurable option.
