web protection and management
Webroot provides a total managed service to protect against web borne threats and control user access.
In a business landscape where it’s vital to focus attention on
core activity, Information Technology has to be an
enabling business tool without soaking up employee hours. Today
52% of companies report misuse of internet
resources in the work environment with the two most common
misuses being access to inappropriate websites
(41%) and excessive web surfing (36%) (DTI Information Security
Breaches survey 2006). Spyware, viruses and
other harmful malware is also propagated in increasing frequency
via Internet browsing. The result for many
organisations is that a necessary business tool has become a
high cost and risk.
Benefits:
- Zero infrastructure costs (no hardware required)
- Protection from web based threats
- Reduced risk of illegal content entering networks
- Management of users' personal web access (including webmail)
- Improved web performance

Description
Webroot's service quite simply removes the headache around web access, allowing clients to get on with effectively running their business. By scanning all web requests before they get delivered back to the requesting user, Webroot ensures that there is low risk to the organisation without costly hardware or software needed to be installed on the client network.
Protection
With HTTP & FTP requests being scanned for viruses and spyware organisations can
be sure that threats are prevented before even reaching their network.
Unwanted file downloading, such as music and video files can be prevented
globally or by user.
The result of this protection is a reduction of burden on internal IT systems,
more available bandwidth and reduced risk for organisations.
Access control
Ensuring that users only get access to the content
they need not only protects them from potentially
offensive material
but protects organisations from vast amounts of wasted
man hours spent browsing the Internet for personal use.
Access policies can be set to individual user level and
applied by time, date and location.
Millions of URLs are categorised in 7 main categories
and 70 sub categories. This continuously updated
database
ensures accurate control.
Management
Powerful tools are provided from an intuitive web control panel that allow
granular policy control to individual user level.
Realtime logs display which sites and downloads users have attempted to access
and if they were allowed or not.
Detailed reports allow organisations to accurately monitor internet use.
