FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Public Sector Web Security and Employee Productivity Improved by Web Filtering Application

September 23rd, 2008

Based on research published by the BBC, employees are wasting up to 2 hours per day surfing non-work related sites. For an organisation with 10 employees, on an average salary of £1,000 per month, this could be costing the organisation up to £32,000 per year.

To combat this problem, managers are increasingly turning to web filtering as a means of improving employee productivity and increasing security. Web filtering technology allows managers to monitor internet activity, block access to undesirable web content and improve web security by avoiding threats such as viruses and malware.

The technology firm CensorNet, through its CensorNet Professional application, has helped a number of public sector organisations to control access to web content by employees and other individuals, including Local Government, the Prison Services, the NHS and educational organisations. The application provides several key features to help managers;

Instant snapshots of network productivity.
Scheduled reports for departmental managers regarding staff Internet usage.
Real-time content and image detection and Google & Yahoo! Safe Search enforcement.
Filtering modes that allow managers to set the levels of acceptable usage within the organisation.
Easy to use and deploy.

CensorNet has provided web and e-mail filtering solutions since 2001 and over 1,000,000 end-users are protected by their products. The CensorNet Professional application was launched in 2007 and the firm was shortlisted for the BETT Awards 2008. The product itself was developed in the UK and its support-staff are 100% UK based. For further information about CensorNet and how your organisation can benefit from web filtering, call 0845 2309590, email sales@censornet.com or visit www.censornet.com.
