Content Filtering Benefits

As IT managers have improved their network security over recent years, the corporate desktop has become the new battleground for IT security. Harmful applications on desktops, websites, viruses and peer-to-peer applications have become some of the biggest threats to corporate networks. In fact, one in every three corporate networks has some sort of spyware installed, 90 percent of businesses received some sort of hacker attack in the past year and 70 percent of all pornographic Internet usage occurs between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The common thread in all of this is that the corporate desktop is being used to create all of this havoc. Protecting your network’s users, often unknowing users, from these harmful types of traffic will reduce IT costs and increase workplace productivity. Here are some of the other benefits of the ISWest Content Filtering Service.

Protect Your Investment: With each computer online in your network, your organization has made an investment. ISWest Content Filtering gives you the opportunity to oversee and protect each and every investment, by making sure that your users aren't using it in a harmful manner.

What you don’t know can hurt you: You may be an IT expert, but not everyone in your organization is. With so many threats on the web, the average user just can't keep up with the latest security news. This is what causes attacks like "phishing" to be so effective. The ISWest Content Filter blocks harmful pages like this from ever being displayed, so that what your users don’t know can't hurt them.

Keep your business in line: Improper use of the Internet doesn't just decrease productivity; it can also lead to organizational problems and pose legal liabilities to your business. Employee complaints and sexual harassment can be avoided by preventing offensive material from ever entering your network.
