Integrated Content Security

Firewall with Integrated Web Filtering

Workforce access to the Internet creates all sorts of problems. Regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and HIPAA put pressure on organizations to protect resources from Internet-borne security threats or face stiff penalties. Exposure to inappropriate Web content can lead to gender, minority, or religious harassment and discrimination-and to lawsuits. Non-work related Web surfing increasingly threatens productivity. Network threats are real, too, when an employee can crash the network just by logging into the wrong Web site. Other activities such as recreational surfing and downloading MP3 files can divert valuable bandwidth from critical business needs.

With all these dangers introduced by excessive Web-surfing, organizations are turning to Web filtering and Web management software to control employee Internet access, reduce legal liability, and increase security.
