Pearl Software CTO Tapped for EU Safer Internet Industry Group
Pearl Software, Inc. announced that Joe Field, CTO and co-founder of the Internet security company, has been selected to participate in the European Union’s Safer Internet Industry Group in order to provide recommendations to the stakeholders of a safer Internet.
Sterling, VA (PRWEB) September 14, 2006 -– Pearl Software, Inc. announced that Joe Field, CTO and co-founder of the Internet security company, has been selected to participate in the European Union’s Safer Internet Industry Group in order to provide recommendations to the stakeholders of a safer Internet. European Parliament has initiated the framework of the Safer Internet Action Plan to promote safer use of the Internet and new online technologies, particularly for children and educational institutions to fight against illegal content and content unwanted by the end-user.
“Pearl Software is delighted to share our expertise in the area of Internet safety,” said Joe Field, Pearl Software’s CTO. “Though Pearl Software has a strong presence in government agencies and corporate enterprises, our company was founded on our efforts to protect children through use of our home and school software products, community outreach programs and our work with law enforcement. In the past ten years we’ve seen well-intentioned initiatives fail due to technical or procedural impracticalities. It’s my goal to share these lessons-learned with the EU in an effort to protect their citizens from some of the darker aspects of online life.”
Pearl Software is the developer of a series of e-communications monitoring, filtering, and control solutions enabling effective management of Internet usage in mobile, desktop and server-centric environments. Pearl Software’s products actively capture user web browsing, file transfers, news, chat, IM, e-mail and web-mail, including all encoded attachments. Internet access permissions can be set at the user level, based on time controls, keyword triggers, allow-lists, block-lists and a dynamic library of web domain category filters. Pearl Software’s Pearl Echo-Suite will be among the tools evaluated in the multi-year EU filtering software benchmark study.
