Dedicated Content Filtering
An Internet content filtering solution is an essential tool for organizations concerned about their cybersecurity. It helps prevent web users from visiting webpages harboring malware and computer viruses, and inadvertently downloading infections onto an organization's computer system or network.
There are many different types of Internet content filtering solutions. Evaluating which is the most suitable for your organization depends on your goals, available resources for administration, and budget.
Compatibility, flexibility, and scalability are often overlooked factors when evaluating Internet content filter solutions. These factors are crucial for ensuring that the solution meets your current and future needs.
Contents to be Filtered
Content filtering is primarily used by companies to increase productivity by blocking unwanted and social sites from access. The following is a list of content that can be blocked:
Social networking sites
Adult content
Torrent sites
Unnecessary searches
The Importance of Flexibility in a Web Access Filter Solution
Regardless of your organization's size and nature of operations, it's recommended to select a web access filter solution that is as flexible as possible. Flexibility allows administrators to set filtering controls by:
- User
- User group
- Department
- Time
This means, for example, only the marketing department may be able to access Facebook during working hours, but any member of staff can access the social media site in their own time.
Adaptability to Change
The degree of flexibility your organization needs will likely be determined by your organization's acceptable use policies. However, these policies are subject to change as new working practices are introduced, technology advances, or new laws are enacted in regulated industries. Therefore, it's wise to select a website access filter solution that is easy to configure as changes become necessary.
