Comprehensive URL Filtering To Protect Your Network

Preventing Access to Offensive or Malicious Sites

The ability to restrict access to suspicious or malicious web sites is imperative to network security and has implications for human resources as well. Companies have an obligation to prevent access to offensive materials, but also need to be concerned with blocking access to malicious sites that may download malicious software, exploit vulnerabilities, host a phishing attack, or pose some other security threat to the network.

Often, the offensive and the malicious coincide, with porn sites hosting exploits and malware or downloading spyware to vulnerable machines. In addition, users may try to access sites that contain malware or malicious hacks, or warez sites which contain illegal, pirated copies of software and other digital media. To protect the network from these malicious threats, as well as working to ensure that users are productive during business hours, companies need to be able to control or restrict the sites that users are allowed to visit. That's where web filtering (also referred to as URL filtering) comes in.

Web Usage Facts and Figures

To fully understand the risk to the network, the issues with offensive or objectionable material, and the potential impact to the productivity of the users, consider the following:

  • 30-40% of employees Internet activity is not work related. (IDC)
  • 70% of the access to online porn is during work hours. (sextracker.com)
  • For 20% man and 10% women, work computers are the primary link to porn content (MSNBC)
  • 25% of total search engine requests are porn-related
