Overview:
As the amount of time spent browsing the Internet continues
to rise, the problems associated with providing unmonitored
and unregulated Internet access steadily increase. The
concern surrounding this increase is compounded by a
fundamental shift in the type of content being accessed -
rather than traditional static content, dynamic and user
generated content now makes up a large percentage of content
being accessed.
Dynamic or user generated content is normally authored by
the owner of the website that displays it, and therefore,
traditional methods of filtering based purely on website
categorization can no longer be considered sufficient to
maintain web usage policy and prevent inappropriate content
from entering the network.
Why Web Filtering?
- Protect your network and your staff from undesirable
Web content
- Drive productivity by limiting time spent on
recreational surfing
- Optimize network resources by reducing bandwidth
congestion
- Monitor online activity with comprehensive reporting
- Ensure confidentiality by masking your usage
to sites that collect information
