SurfControl Web Filter Solves DKNY's Challenge of Increasing Security, Eliminating Network Abuse and Decreasing Liability across a Distributed Enterprise SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- SurfControl (LONDON: SRF) , the world leader in enterprise threat protection, today announced DKNY (NASDAQ:LVMH) is protecting employees in stores and offices across the United States using SurfControl Web Filter. SurfControl Web Filter enables DKNY for the first time ever to track Internet usage down to the individual user level within the company's extensive Citrix environment. DKNY has successfully eliminated nearly all phishing scams, spyware attacks and viruses targeting their unsuspecting employees, and has greatly increased network performance through the company's SurfControl deployment. "We're a clothing design company and not as internally rigid as a bank or healthcare organization might have to be. A big part of our user population is very open minded, and don't realize that by Web surfing, they're exposing the network to malicious content," said Ken Meisch, director of technology for DKNY. "With SurfControl Web Filter, we're able to proactively prevent network vulnerabilities by removing the ability to access potentially harmful sites. As a result, we've eliminated pop-ups and adware that used to amount to about 3,000 hits per day; and that has vastly improved network efficiency and increased our bandwidth." DKNY, owned by the luxury brand group, Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey (LVMH), is a globally recognized company focused on the design, production and marketing of high-end apparel, accessories, fragrances and home fashions. The company prides itself on having a culture of creative people from differing backgrounds that have unique perspectives, opinions and values. Establishing clear parameters on inappropriate Internet activity, while respecting the company culture, was a collaborative effort among senior management team members. DKNY required a solution that provided protection against blended threats, detailed reporting on network and Citrix-based user activity and easy-to-implement, customizable global content filtering. Prevalent Networks, a Platinum SurfControl Partner headquartered in New Jersey, engaged with DKNY to discuss the company's challenges. When DKNY indicated problems with their existing filtering solution, Prevalent Networks recommended a SurfControl trial. Jonathan Dambrot, managing member at Prevalent Networks, reports that, "Some of the issues with DKNY's former Web filtering solution, including poor reporting and management, were so easily solved with SurfControl that after a 30 day evaluation, DKNY immediately made the switch to SurfControl Web Filter. Our recommended solution continues to solve network performance and employee productivity issues and has paid for itself many times over." SurfControl Web Filter - One of a Kind for Citrix Customers DKNY uses Citrix Presentation Server for centralizing the deployment and management of enterprise applications. Because each user accessing a Citrix server from a remote DKNY office is not identified by an individual IP address, the company was previously unable to easily enforce Internet acceptable use policies, monitor Web usage and create detailed usage reports on an individual basis. SurfControl Web Filter was uniquely able to provide user-level Web security controls within the Citrix deployment. SurfControl Web Filter's seamless integration with Microsoft Active Directory has simplified the ability to control network access for outside vendors who have access to DKNY's network. Meisch continued, "There could be one person online, or 30 people online, and we'd have no idea where they were going, what they were doing or what dangers were being exposed to the network. SurfControl Web Filter empowered us to automatically protect our network and employees against even the most malicious attacks while enabling us to support all the legitimate needs of our remote users." Unmatched Reporting, Management, Protection - The List Goes On The DKNY IT staff uses preset reports such as top 10 users, top 10 sites and top categories from SurfControl Report Central to manage operations -- and can quickly develop custom reports for managers, department heads or executives. DKNY staff members also save time in the customization and updating of different policy configurations, accomplishing in a few simple mouse clicks the same tasks that previously took much longer. Meisch concluded, "Our previous Web filter provider simply seemed to stop evolving to meet our changing needs. We always had to wait for the next version of the product to get the functionality we needed and then the product would be unstable. The reporting was nowhere near what SurfControl provides and overall, the system just seemed to make our job harder rather than easier. SurfControl has really stepped up where our last Web filter provider fell short."
