Content Filtering

To maintain the safety of their network, more and more small to medium sized companies are monitoring and filtering their employee’s Internet access. Content filtering lets you block certain categories of websites or specific websites from being accessed by users on your network. This allows you to control where your employees go to ensure their time online is relevant to their productivity, your bottom line and doesn’t leave you vulnerable to viruses, spyware and other maladies of the web. It also lets you preserve your network bandwidth so your network continues to run quickly and smoothly.

More and more small companies are monitoring and filtering their employee’s Internet access because online gambling, social networking, music downloading and peer-to-peer sharing waste valuable company time, but also leave you vulnerable to the threats that lurk on these sites. Hackers now exploit end user ignorance more than simply targeting the system itself. Spam, viruses and other malware have become a social problem, not simply a programming one.

Our Untangle Web Filtering enables you to regulate access to these sites, enforce network usage policies and monitor user behavior. Zero client installation and category block lists make it easier for you to:

• Protect the network from malware on the web
• Block time-wasting sites like MySpace and Facebook
• Conserve bandwidth by blocking audio/video downloads
• Leverage community URL categorization with the URL Submission Tool
  

Now you can easily monitor, set and enforce your own web usage policy with our Web Filter application—without the hassles of outsourcing it. Whether you want to use our block lists or set your own policies for hosts, domains and files types, you can block access to inappropriate sites and allow “passes” for others. Reporting enables you to view a big picture of the kind of Web browsing behavior occurring on your network.

We’d be happy to help you get started.
