Internet Filtering and Legal Liability

Inappropriate use of internet resources can expose organizations to legal liability. Internet Filtering software helps organizations define and enforce internet use policies that prevent employees from engaging in inappropriate behavior.

Internet Filtering and Productivity

The Internet can be an important business asset or a productivity trap. Without comprehensive Internet Filtering, employees can become distracted by many non work-related internet pursuits. Internet Filtering software can help organizations limit this productivity loss by defining and enforcing internet use policies suited to their unique business needs.

Internet Filtering Concept

An Internet Filtering application allows general 'surfing' to take place with the exception of the filtered sites. As it is not possible to maintain a database of all sites that are unsuitable, and 'unsuitability' is largely a subjective determination, the internet filtering becomes useful where general, but filtered access is necessary.

Occasionally an unwanted site may appear to the user if they make a concerted effort to find one that does not trigger the filtering mechanism, and sometimes even if they are not. There are many times when people's interpretations vary from one another, and for this reason Internet Filtering frequently err on the side of caution - if a site may offend somebody then it is made inaccessible.
