Web Filtering Solution
Increase productivity
Personal Web surfing has become a significant cause of employee productivity
loss. By limiting employee access to sites belonging to undesirable categories,
you can prevent this problem.
Avoid legal liability
Employees can easily access inappropriate content, such as pornography,
copyrighted documents/software/music files, and hate material, through the Web.
Such material is bound to legal liabilities for which organisations are held
accountable. Stop employees accessing these locations on the internet.
Hold on to your business values
Some organisations are built around strong core values. These organisations
are usually non-profit or religious, and have an interest in preventing any
activity that may undermine those values.
In most cases, an organisation can enforce its Web filtering policy by
publishing a set of rules for employees; however enforcing such written rules is
not an easy task. In addition, a small business organisation usually does not
have sufficient resources to invest in an enforcement solution and to keep the
enforcement point database updated at all times.
A managed Web Filtering service represents a complete solution to these
problems Supportspread provides this complete Service in the SME Silver Package.
URL Filtering Process
- Supportspread installs an uses a Web Filtering service via the centrally
managed firewall.
- Supportspread configures Web Filtering settings dependent on client’s
specific requirements.
- A managed firewall connects to Supportspread Central management portal
over an Internet connection and is updated with the Web Filtering service
options.
All URL filtering is then controlled from a central location.
- A client behind the gateway generates an HTTP request.
- The firewall extracts the requested URL.
- The firewall then sends a categorisation request for the URL to the
Supportspread URL Filter.
- The Supportspread URL Filter obtains the categories from the Web Filtering
Server server.
- The Supportspread URL Filter sends the category back to the clients
firewall.
- The firewall determines whether access to this site should be denied or
permitted, based on the clients configured preferences.
- If access to the site is denied, the gateway generates its own HTTP
response, which informs the user that access has been denied and allows them
to enter a password in order to override the URL filtering mode.
- Note: URL filtering works for HTTP requests only.
