Understanding Web Filtering Technologies
Abstract
The Internet is now a huge resource of information and plays an increasingly important role in business and education. However, without adequate controls in place, organisations are likely to be faced with a broad range of issues. These range from excessive personal use of the Internet during business impacting staff productivity to legal risks if users access inappropriate content.
This has led to the emergence of web filtering products, which organisations can deploy to enable proactive management of Internet access for users.
This whitepaper discusses some of the technology options available for web filtering and reviews the benefits and limitations of each.
Productivity, Internet Abuse, and How to Improve One by Eliminating the Other
Abstract
The Web can be an incredible business tool—and a potential threat. The change that the Internet has and will continue to produce in the world marketplace—and in life in general—is certainly comparable to revolutionary innovations in the past, such as the introduction of automobiles or even the printing press.
This white paper, however, will not focus on Internet highlights, but on some of the considerable downsides—and how to eliminate them. Specifically, we will discuss the effect of Internet abuse on employee productivity, which is huge and not fully appreciated. We will then examine the best strategies and technologies to combat abuse so that organizations can enhance the Internet as a tool and remove its potential as a productivity curse.
