About Wavecrest Computing
Customers worldwide rely on Wavecrest Computing for accurate, reliable Web-use management software — backed by a customer support team dedicated to your success.
Wavecrest is a recognized leader in policy-based Web-use management solutions. Our filtering and reporting products are designed to help you successfully address Internet abuse, legal liability, workforce productivity and bandwidth usage issues—without damaging morale. Particularly when implemented in conjunction with an effective Internet usage policy, our products can help achieve greater workforce productivity, lower bandwidth costs and reduced risk of legal liability.
Wavecrest Computing was founded in 1996 and has been profitable since 1997. Sales have increased by 65% or more during each of the last ten years. Our clients include Procter & Gamble, General Electric, British Telecom, US Department of State, Edward Jones, IBM, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), Miller Coors, IKEA, Siemens, Bayer and a growing list of global enterprises and government agencies.
We achieved our success in large part because we believe that Web-use management should deal with more than IT ‘security’ or network bandwidth issues alone. While addressing these two issues quite well, our products go on to deal proactively with the one factor that underlies all Web-use management issues, i.e., human online activity. Wavecrest’s managers and developers understand human resource management well, and they use that knowledge to develop features that prevent productivity losses, legal liability problems, network issues and unnecessary costs.
As we move ahead, we continue to release innovative new products and features designed to offer current and potential customers Web-use management solutions with greater functionality, accessibility and interoperability— providing more business intelligence for greater productivity and profitability.
Products
In the fourteen years since start-up, Wavecrest has developed customer-inspired Internet usage products now used by a wide variety of enterprises. Our first product, ProxyReporter, was a practical, first-generation Web-use monitoring and reporting product that has since been phased out and replaced with Cyfin®.
Cyfin®
Cyfin is an advanced, policy-based Web-use monitoring and reporting software product. It analyzes a workforce's Web site visits in terms of site content (categorization), visit acceptability (acceptable or unacceptable), "visitor" identity (user name or IP address), and resource consumption (bytes downloaded). Cyfin is also designed to automatically pinpoint instances of misuse or abuse. To accommodate all types and sizes of network environments, Cyfin comes in two editions: Cyfin® Reporter logfile analyzer and Cyfin® Proxy standalone Internet monitoring software.
CyBlock®
CyBlock is a comprehensive Internet usage management solution that integrates Web-access filtering with Web usage reporting capabilities. Customers can easily configure CyBlock to monitor and manage compliance with their usage policies. CyBlock is available in three editions: CyBlock® ISA (for Microsoft ISA Server users), CyBlock® Proxy (standalone), and CyBlock®Appliance. The first two are ‘software-only’ products, and the third is available in desktop and rack-mount hardware appliances.
