Financial and legal risks associated with unrestricted corporate Internet use, make regulations on Internet usage imperative.
Webwasher has the only available solution that effectively decreases the risk of offensive content entering a network while avoiding other legal pitfalls such as workplace monitoring or discrimination. Moreover, since the danger of incurring liability is often higher if no reasonable effort was made to prevent offensive content from entering a network, Webwasher provides double protection: by preventing the entrance of potentially offensive content and by demonstrating that a reasonable effort has been made.
Chris Runte, director of Biodata IT and local distributor of Webwasher Content Security Management Suite, stresses that illegal content on a corporate network, copyright infringements or employee visits to inappropriate Web sites could cost a company dearly in damages and may even result in criminal charges against senior management.
To avoid this, a corporate Internet policy must be defined that reflects both the needs of the workforce and the requirements of the business.
"Webwasher Content Security Management Suite is flexible enough to accommodate the specific requirements of a corporate policy as well as the needs of specific users, groups or departments. This is why more than 4 000 companies and institutions worldwide rely on Webwasher`s integrated content security solutions," he adds.
Webwasher offers specialised solutions for all security threats, such as URL filtering, anti-spam, anti-virus, content filtering (Web and e-mail), SSL scanning, instant message filtering, enterprise Web reporting. They can be applied to all protocols, HTTP, FTP, SMTP and HTTPS and on all major platforms like Windows, Linux and Solaris.
