Safety Net: Internet Filtering

St. Bernard Software

The term “Internet filtering” may conjure up notions of Big Brother lording over every keystroke an employee makes throughout a long workday. But simply put, filtering is about knowledge.And knowledge gives businesses, particularly those with employees spread out in multiple locations, insights into how and when their precious network resources are being used, and how to maximize them. Filtering gives them the knowledge they need to protect against an endless stream of destructive security threats, and it protects their valuable and sensitive assets by monitoring and reporting on the content flowing in and out.But monitoring and filtering are only half the equation. Just as important are comprehensive reporting tools that give large companies a centralized view of all network activity. These reporting tools are a critical component in enforcing security policies and Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) across a distributed enterprise.
