The purpose of Web filtering software is to screen and exclude end-user access to Web pages that are deemed objectionable or not business related. Web filtering solutions are used by organizations to monitor, report and enforce pre-determined organizational Web access and usage policies.
Most organizations have some form of appropriate Internet Use Policy for their employees. Most people agree to this policy as a condition of employment. Failure to comply can and often does result in disciplinary action or dismissal. The questions one must ask are: How does the organization monitor and enforce this Internet Use Policy? Is it an honor system? Is there technology in place? There are two main technical approaches that organizations can use to monitor and enforce Internet Use Policies:
The URL Filter module provides an Internet Access Control (IAC) solution that results in a safer, more productive Internet experience. URL filtering employs advanced content filtering technology. This technology helps to improve productivity, minimize legal liability, conserve Internet bandwidth within the organization and/or prevent employee abuse of non-business websites.
Increase Productivity—Employees have limited or restricted access to certain Internet activities that are not work-related, thereby freeing time to forward company business.
Avoid or Prevent Potential Lawsuits—By restricting abusive Internet use, your company is less likely to be held liable in harassment suits.
Reduce Network Bandwidth Demands—Access to unnecessary downloadable data is restricted resulting in conserved Internet bandwidth.
Enforce Internet Policies—Manage, monitor and report on employee Internet activity anytime, and from any location.
