SurfControl Web FilterSurfControl Web Filtering Solutions

The Total Threat. Your company faces four basic web content threats:

Productivity Threats. Just 20 minutes of recreational surfing a day can cost a company with 100 employees over £4,000 per week. (At £25/hour/employee.)

Legal Threats. Employees can sue if you don't provide a work environment free of gender and minority harassment. That means taking reasonable care to block offensive Internet content.

Network Threats. An employee can crash your network just by logging into the wrong website. Other activity like recreational surfing and downloading MP3 files can divert valuable bandwidth from critical business needs.

Security Threats. Many viruses enter networks through web-based e-mail accounts or through other files downloaded from the web. That means you need to manage what files users can download.

The Total Solution
SurfControl Web Filtering automatically manages what web content is available and when, as defined by your policy. Managing this access can significantly reduce the risks of productivity threats, network threats, legal threats and security threats.

  • Platform - SurfControl works in any environment and is scalable to any size organization
  • Content Range and Customization - SurfControl employs the largest, most-thoroughly customizable database of high-risk web content - classified by website or by page into 40 easy-to-manage categories
  • Rule Criteria - apply any web usage criteria: content type, file type (downloaded or streamed), bandwidth allocated, time-of-day, time spent online, groups or employees affected - it's up to you
  • Dynamic filtering - An available Virtual Control Agent employs neural network technology to block access to questionable sites not yet classified

Total Risk Management
SurfControl gives you the information you need to make the content risk decisions that are important to your business. It offers more than 55 standard reports, an unlimited number of customized reports, plus comprehensive real-time monitoring.
