Netxactics has announced its agreement with Internet monitoring software developer, WebSpy, to act as its local distributor. This new alliance will see Netxactics selling and supporting the WebSpy Internet monitoring product line to businesses and educational institutions across Sub-Saharan Africa.
"The Internet has become an invaluable resource for both business and research," says Brett Myroff, CEO of Netxactics. "With this new way of doing business, however, comes a new method of recreation and leisure that is not always in line with business goals."
Blocking and filtering of Web sites is no longer the complete solution. Thousands of new sites, the inability to be able to determine what YOU see as appropriate or inappropriate together with the many common practises of hiding URLs mean that your workers may still be misusing the Internet.
WebSpy is a proactive tool that has been proven to reduce Internet misuse simply by working in conjunction with a company`s Internet policy and providing complete, professional reporting on all aspects of Web use in the workplace.
Figures recently released by The Computer Security Institute (CSI) in its sixth annual "Computer Crime and Security Survey" again show a trend of increased abuse of employee Internet access privileges. This includes anything from hogging bandwidth by downloading massive MP3 files, private e-mails, to playing online games or browsing for pornography.
"No matter what form the abuse takes, it`s costing you money," adds Myroff. "Internet misuse results in poor employee productivity, slows your Web connection to a crawl, and puts you at risk for spam and virus attacks, in addition to exposing your company to legal liability."
As the local WebSpy distributor, Netxactics will be responsible for technical support, which according to Myroff, will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
"Because our business is aimed at the corporate market, there is a serious demand for any-time support, and that is what we offer all our customers."
