ScanSafe's managed Web Filtering service enables you to create, enforce and monitor Web usage policies. Layering real time rule-based filters with up to date and accurate categorization databases, Web Filtering enforces your organization's acceptable usage policy, protecting you from the legal liabilities of inappropriate content, reducing bandwidth congestion and improving employee productivity.
As the amount of time spent browsing the Internet continues to rise, the problems associated with providing unmonitored and unregulated Internet access steadily increases. ScanSafe Web Filtering Service is fully managed and puts you in control of how your employees use the Internet. ScanSafe delivers best-of-breed filtering with streamlined configuration.
The Problem
As an unregulated environment the Internet has content of all varieties which may not have legitimate use within the workplace – productivity loss, bandwidth congestion and legal liabilities may arise from uncontrolled access outside of your company's acceptable use policy.
The Evidence
“Up to 40% of internet use in the workplace is not business related” – (IDC Research)
“Browsing is definitely a point of risk” – Bill Gates, Microsoft Corporation
“The information security breaches surveys reports web misuse as the number 2 security threat overall” – (ISBS)
Opinion
“ScanSafe was selected to provide a further layer of security for us. We adopt a policy that it is better to prevent email, Web page borne viruses and spam from entering our systems at all rather than letting them in and then dealing with them through our existing internal security systems.”
David Jones, Head of IT, National Express
