Web Content Filtering


Protection, Productivity and Bandwidth Conservation

 

Corporations need to minimize liabilities, maximize individual productivity and optimize bandwidth utilization. By accurately filtering content a company can restrict access to web sites that could otherwise introduce liability into the workplace, minimize access to employee distractions and still provide productive access to business related information. By restricting streaming video and music files, for example, productivity can be increased. As a side affect, more network bandwidth is made available for productive work.

 

"In with the good and out with the bad!"

 

When companies provide personnel with computers and Internet access, they are equipping them with a tool that can be used for productive work. On the other hand, such access can promote distractions that can create network congestion or even expose the company to litigious situations.

 

The office PC will be used for the occasional personal e-mail, and possibly some online shopping during lunchtimes. But there are limitations, and the PC, meant to increase efficiency and productivity, can rapidly turn into a device for wasting valuable office resources hours with games, chatting to friends and relatives, and sometimes less appealing activities such as visiting adult websites.

 

Future Com Professional Services can set up a customized content filtering solution to enable productive access to information while restricting access to categories of sites and to specific sites to meet the requirements of your business.


Future Com solutions feature:

 

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

 

Being in the industry for over seventeen years, Future Com recognizes the challenges faced by today’s IT managers and administrators and the need for proper product implementation and tuning. Too often companies spend a great deal of money on equipment that is installed and configured utilizing basic features and evolved network architectures. With certified network engineers, Future Com can address this issue through professional services that ensure correct deployment, tuning and knowledge transfer. IT administrators live in a “Perception is Fact” world and when companies spend money on solutions that is what they expect...solutions, not equipment. Future Com is ready to help you maximize resource utilization, simplify your operation and improve network security.
