Protect your entire organisation with effective Web filtering
Filtering is becoming increasingly important for many groups within your organisation:

• Employers must create a non-hostile workplace – blocking access to pornographic, violent, or prejudicial content.

• Managers need to keep staff productive, eliminating unnecessary distractions of online shopping, gambling, instant messaging, and so on.

• Educators must keep schools and libraries safe and comply with regulations such as the federal Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

• IT administrators need to guard against the security risks and bandwidth drains of unrestricted access to peer-to-peer (P2P) sites, unauthorised downloads of files, or visits to sites where PCs and networks can be exposed to viruses and malicious software.

SmartFilter products meet the needs of all of these groups with a system that is powerful, easy to use, simple to manage, and highly affordable.
