City of Kenora locks down nasty Net content at public access PCs: city using content filtering app from LogiSense Corp. to protect constitutents from dark side of the Internet

An Ontario municipality is putting the finishing touches on a network management project that will allow it to introduce content filtering services to customers of its ISP operation.

The City of Kenora went live with an implementation of LogiSense Corp.'s EngageIP products in July, primarily to improve its ability to secure, meter and control access to Internet services for its constituents.

According to Ian Pizey, Kenora's Internet operations manager, the goal now is to introduce content filtering sometime before Christmas.

"That's pretty important, considering we're a public entity," he said. "We can't have some of our remote sites having that stuff pop up on computers. We need to be able to address those issues from the darker side of the Internet."
