Implementing an Internet Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and deploying content filtering software to help enforce it can bring many benefits to your company. Here are just a few of them:

Raise staff awareness of Acceptable Use Policy

Most employees will behave much more responsibly when they know they are held accountable for their use of company time and resources. InterGate can be an important component in the enforcement of responsible net use.

Know exactly who is viewing what

Your network configuration and office layout may be configured in such a way as to enable a staff member to “borrow” a colleague’s computer for illicit surfing. With InterGate, this can be easily prevented.

Improve productivity by limiting time spent online or by limiting browsing to certain hours of the day

Acceptable Use Policy does not have to be heavy-handed. Perhaps your policy allows leisure surfing at lunch hour? Perhaps certain staff are only allowed a specified amount of surfing per week? Vicomsoft helps you implement a policy that is right for your organization.

Keep detailed logs of all sites visited by staff on a per-user basis

If a serious infringement of policy occurs, it is helpful to have activity logs to support any action taken.

Reduce the likelihood of legal liability by optional blocking of illegal or offensive sites

Many business Internet users do not realize that simply having certain information on their hard disk can expose them to legal liability. Are you sure you know what is on your company's hard disks? InterGate can prevent your users from accessing illegal material.
