web protection and management

Webroot provides a total managed service to protect against web borne threats and control user access.

In a business landscape where it’s vital to focus attention on core activity, Information Technology has to be an enabling business tool without soaking up employee hours. Today 52% of companies report misuse of internet resources in the work environment with the two most common misuses being access to inappropriate websites (41%) and excessive web surfing (36%) (DTI Information Security Breaches survey 2006). Spyware, viruses and other harmful malware is also propagated in increasing frequency via Internet browsing. The result for many organisations is that a necessary business tool has become a high cost and risk.

Features:

Description

Webroot's service quite simply removes the headache around web access, allowing clients to get on with effectively running their business. By scanning all web requests before they get delivered back to the requesting user, Webroot ensures that there is low risk to the organisation without costly hardware or software needed to be installed on the client network.

Protection

With HTTP & FTP requests being scanned for viruses and spyware organisations can be sure that threats are prevented before even reaching their network.

Unwanted file downloading, such as music and video files can be prevented globally or by user.

The result of this protection is a reduction of burden on internal IT systems, more available bandwidth and reduced risk for organisations.

Access Control

Ensuring that users only get access to the content they need not only protects them from potentially offensive material but protects organisations from vast amounts of wasted man hours spent browsing the Internet for personal use.

Access policies can be set to individual user level and applied by time, date and location.

Millions of URLs are categorised in 7 main categories and 70 sub categories. This continuously updated database ensures accurate control.

Management

Powerful tools are provided from an intuitive web control panel that allow granular policy control to individual user level.

Realtime logs display which sites and downloads users have attempted to access and if they were allowed or not.

Detailed reports allow organisations to accurately monitor internet use.
