Internet Content Filtering, Legal Liability and Productivity
internet Firewall Servers protect organizations from the productivity, legal liability, and bandwidth risks of the internet, combining powerful flexibility with rich functionality:

Inappropriate use of internet resources can expose organizations to legal liability when employees engage in illegal or inappropriate activities. The content filtering software in our server helps organizations define and enforce internet use policies that prevent employees from engaging in inappropriate behavior. Your organization can experience dramatic decreased network capacity or some system downtime when too many employees use bandwidth-sapping applications, like streaming media or internet radio including audio and video. Web content filtering can help organizations balance employees’ personal internet needs while decreasing the risk of legal liability, maintaining adequate network bandwidth levels, and increasing productivity.

A recent survey by online compensation firm Salary.com showed about six out of 10 employees in the United States acknowledged wasting time at work. About 34 percent listed personal Internet use as the leading time-wasting activity in the workplace. Employees said they did so because they were bored, worked too many hours, were underpaid or were unchallenged at work. Firms all over the world are concerned about potentially harmful effects of surfing they deem to be inappropriate may have on their company's image. Many firms use computer software to monitor Web activity and block certain sites or servers. Almost a fifth of those surveyed in a 2006 Israeli-American poll said they accessed online sex sites at work.

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

For consideration by credit unions, the NCUA has published an IT Security Compliance Guide. In this guide NCUA recommends "a credit union should consider the need for a firewall for their network. If a credit union maintains any sort of Internet or other external connectivity, its systems may require multiple firewalls of adequate capacity that are properly placed and appropriately configured." and " A credit union should consider the use of an intrusion detection system to alert it to attacks on computer systems that store member information. In assessing the need for such a system, a credit union should evaluate the ability of its staff to rapidly and accurately identify an intrusion and the damage that could occur between the time an intrusion occurs and the time the intrusion is recognized and action is taken."
