Reduce Company Liability
|
|
It is the responsibility of every company to provide a safe and
non-discriminating work environment for their employees. Legal
issues can arrise when an employee views objectionable web content on their
computer that is inadvertently viewed by another coworker who is offended
by that content. Emerald Web Shield can drastically reduce the risk
of this form of liability by preventing inappropriate text and images from
being downloaded to a user's computer at all.
|
| Maintaining an Acceptable Network Usage Policy (ANUP) is an important part
of a company's strategy to limit network usage, in particular use of the
Internet, to legitimate and job-related purposes. Emerald Web Shield
can be implemented as an enforcement mechanism that actively prevents users
from visiting sites that violate the ANUP.
|
|
In the workplace many non-objectionable websites can still be considered
inappropriate because they are not necessary to perform a job function.
Our web filter service can be customized to block websites that aren't
considered harmful but that a manager feels detracts from their employees'
ability to focus on work.

Save Time And Money Solving IT Problems
|
|
Many websites don't just contain objectionable content but also introduce real
problems to the company network by installing viruses, trojans, adware, or
spyware to a user's computer. These problems must then be handled by IT
staff and can cost a company a significant amount of time and money.
Emerald Web Shield can prevent many of these problems by totally preventing
such malicious sites from being downloaded by any user.
|
Complement a Secure Firewall
|
|
While a firewall provides security it does not discriminate about any traffic it
allows to pass through an open port. A single port (usually port 80) is
opened on a firewall to allow users to browse the web. This allows all
traffic to pass through the port regardless of its content, which includes all
content downloaded from any website. Emerald Web Shield can complement a
secure firewall by providing filtration for all web content.
