Employee access to the Internet continues to introduce new dangers and content that can negatively impact your company in four fundamental ways:
Security Threats. Viruses, spyware and other malware can all enter your network through web-based e-mail, file downloads, Instant Messaging, P2P applications and other non-work related sites.
Legal Threats. Inappropriate content can lead to gender, minority or religious harassment and discrimination. Illegal distribution of copyrighted or illegal material over your network is never good for business.
Productivity Threats. The temptations of non-work related Web destinations are endless. Just 20 minutes of recreational surfing a day can cost a company with 500 employees over $8,000 per week. (at $50/hour/employee).
Network Threats. An employee can crash your network just by logging into the wrong website. Other activity like recreational surfing and downloading MP3 files can divert valuable bandwidth from critical business needs.
