Web Access Control

Staff browsing the Internet during work time or downloading files for personal use costs businesses in lost productivity, increased broadband usage and billing, and risk of introducing damaging malicious files to the network. The levels of 'cyber-slacking' are increasing year on year and were highlighted by a 2007 study by Monash University which revealed that up to 25% of an employee's time is spent on the Internet for non-business related purposes.
