Internet access has become critical to businesses and the rewards can be high.

However, organisations are exposed to risk each time an employee sends or receives an e-mail. As a result network security and inappropriate usage concerns are now bigger than ever.

• Unmanaged Internet access can cost thousands of pounds in lost time and productivity
• Accessing pornography and other undesirable sites can bring the threat of litigation
• Downloading virus infected data brings obvious associated threats
• Spam can seriously disrupt business communications. It comprises a third or more of all Internet e-mail. That means a third of network bandwidth and a third of the disk space dedicated to holding incoming mail is essentially wasted.
• The latest threat to productivity and security is the availability of Instant Messaging interfaces and Peer to Peer file sharing programmes. Instant message and P2P programs form another major threat to your network by using valuable hard disk space and allowing potentially destructive viruses to penetrate your network.

Firewalls, passwords and encryption alone can't protect you.

From experience of many organisations – one solution that has proven invaluable to counter these problems has been the installation of a total filtering solution.

Filtering emails enables you to automatically and intelligently manage threats to your network. The risks to productivity, network resources, legal liability and security can then be significantly reduced. To maximise the security of filtering, the Saqqara Internet team not only recommend and install the software, we can agree an internet access policy with you and design a programme of continued modifications to best meet you ongoing policy requirements.
