Why monitor and control Internet usage?

Avoid legal liability by:

• blocking access to problem sites such as gambling, pornography, and hacking
• making sure pirated software or copyrighted media are not downloaded to company computers.

Ensure that employees are always safe from the most recent online security risks:

• hidden malware
• websites that exploit software vulnerabilities
• phishing attacks that steal personal and company data
• other online threats.

Improve productivity by:

• monitoring Internet activity
• identifying problem websites and applications (social networks, news, webmail),
• filtering streaming media, categories or users
• introducing more sensible control.

Make better use of your bandwidth by:

• identifying any network bottlenecks (video sharing sites, online file storage and streaming media)
• applying some limits to conserve resources as necessary.
