A scalable content filtering strategy keeps your business on track

May 1st, 2006 · No Comments

Filtering the content of email messages coming into and out of your organization, Web sites being accessed by your company computers, IM conversations and other data that travels on your network makes business sense because it can save money that might be lost to lawsuits or reduced employee productivity.

Regardless of the size and nature of your business, keeping inappropriate material out of your network and keeping sensitive business information from going out of your network have to be top priorities in today’s business climate. Lawsuits can happen at the drop of a hat, and good intentions aren’t enough to protect you. Let an employee glimpse a sexually provocative photo on a co-worker’s computer and you could find yourself sued for creating a "hostile workplace." Have an employee who inadvertently lets slip personal information about one of your customers and you could find yourself in violation of privacy laws. And even if you escape litigation, having the wrong content come in or go out can result in reduced productivity or loss of your competitive edge. That’s why it makes sense to get a content filtering strategy in place as early as possible — and it makes even more sense to choose solutions that can grow with your company.
