SurfControl Web Content Filtering 

While it’s no secret that the Internet is critical to business functionality, there are issues that arise when employees have unmonitored access to the Internet. Through real-time monitoring, SurfControl Web Content Filtering is available to help your company protect itself from losses, including:

· Productivity Threats
Just 20 minutes of recreational surfing a day can cost a company with 100 employees over $8,000 per week. (At $50/hour/employee.) 

· Legal Threats
Lawsuits and harassment charges may be the result of employees being able to surf and access inappropriate material, such as sexually explicit and hate sites.

· Network Threats
Bandwidth intensive activities, such as MP3 and image downloads, can have a significant impact on network performance and impede business traffic.

· Security Threats
Employees can use the Internet to send sensitive company information through web-based email or download material that may contain viruses.

SurfControl Web Content Filtering automatically manages what web content is available to employees and when, as defined by your set policies - in terms of bandwidth allocated, groups & employees affected, time-of-day and more. SurfControl then provides you with the reports necessary to make the content risk decisions that are important to your business, while at the same time safeguarding each employee’s right to privacy.

Postini Spam & Antivirus Filter 

Email is a vital communications channel for organizations of all kinds. Yet the drastic spike in unsolicited email has created many issues for the enterprise, such as: 

· Increased Strain on Network and IT Resources
Spam consumes labor resources, slows network traffic and clogs gigabytes of storage space.

· Decreased Productivity and Lost Revenue
Spam has made the process of managing email more time consuming, taking employees away from primary business activities. In many companies, this can equate to lost revenue.

· Exposure to Legal Liabilities
Spam containing offensive content, such as pornography, can create a hostile work environment resulting in employee lawsuits. 

Postini allows companies to safeguard themselves from junk email while still allowing easy access to email from legitimate business sources. This is accomplished within milliseconds, as Postini's fully automated email security solution separates spam and viruses from legitimate messages. Legitimate email is instantly passed on to the destination mail server, while suspicious email can either be quarantined in a web-based, password-protected message center for review, or tagged and delivered.
