eSoft’s SiteFilter™ OEM Program Attains 40 partners

Broomfield, Colo. – Jan 21, 2010 – eSoft, Inc., a leader in secure web filtering, announced today it has secured its 40th SiteFilter OEM partner. eSoft's 40 partners include anti-virus, network security, desktop software, mobile phone and managed services vendors, among others.

eSoft's SiteFilter solution categorizes the active areas of the web across the globe with unparalleled coverage and accuracy, providing partners with strong security and policy control features in their own products. The computer security war is increasingly being fought through the web browser. Securing the web browser, its plugins, and its user from tricks and attacks should now be the primary concern of IT purchasers. eSoft's SiteFilter addresses these problems by using the power of cloud computing combined with its Distributed Intelligence Architecture to scrutinize websites for threats and deliver real-time updates to end-users.

"We are very excited about the tremendous growth we are seeing across all of the SiteFilter OEM business metrics, including significant month-over-month increases in the number of users, new URLs, coverage, accuracy, and malicious sites detected," said Jeff Finn, eSoft's chief executive officer. "As our partners go live in new markets, we are staying ahead of demands for new languages and expanded infrastructure. We have an excellent team committed to providing the best secure web filtering offering in the market."
