Blocks Internet Threats: Including spyware, malicious code, phishing sites and botnets (IRC, command-and-control).

Blocks Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer: Utilizing 8e6's Intelligent Footprint Technology (IFT) to block IM and P2P servers by signature or pattern.

"X-Strikes" Blocking: Locks down a user’s workstation when administrator-defined thresholds for accessing inappropriate Web sites are exceeded.

SafeSearch Enforcement: Forces the SafeSearch mode "on" for all searches, including images within search engines (Google, Yahoo, AOL and Ask).

Customer Feedback Module: Sends frequent, non-categorized URLs from participating customers back to 8e6 on a daily basis. Selected URLs are reviewed and added to 8e6's standard library categories.

Synchronization Central Management Console (SCMC): Allows administrators to synchronize and manage multiple R3000s without independently configuring each unit.

Directory-based Authentication: Utilizes directories such as Windows Active Directory, Windows NT and LDAP.
