WebDefender - Web Access Policy |
| |
Nobody disputes that the internet is now an essential tool in modern business. However the news routinely contains stories showing how damaging unmanaged internet access can be. Uncontrolled web usage by staff can result in:-
- viruses and phishing threats
- decreased productivity and degraded Internet bandwidth
- inappropriate web content downloaded to your network and PCs
- employee disciplinary issues
- consequent legal liability and damage to reputation
Until now, managing web access could only be achieved by installing an appliance or software, with all the IT overheads associated with in-house installations. WebDefender is a new breed of managed service that allows you to manage all your users, all the time using a flexible Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery approach. Naturally it enables comprehensive management of web browsing at a user level. It enables control of roaming laptop users as well as office based workers. It provides management of unwanted applications like peer to peer file sharing and Instant Messaging and includes detailed, customisable reporting.
