Content Filtering

Productivity Enhancement Service

Today's businesses understand the value of providing always-on Internet connections for employees. At the same time, companies should be concerned with where and how long employees are surfing the Internet. ClearPath Networks' URL and Content Filtering service provides a seamless shield of protection that is secure, powerful, easy to manage and cost-effective. With ClearPath’s content filtering, you can ensure that limited bandwidth is reserved for approved activities while minimizing liability risks and lost productivity of misuse or abuse of the Internet.

ClearPath maintains and updates data tables with over a million URL addresses classified by category type. These definitions and all future updates are incorporated within each subscriber’s service. Each security setting may be adjusted through SNAP View’s web-based user interface, providing an easy means for delivering your services remotely. No other service provider can deliver an easier to use interface, yet still include the power of ClearPath’s superior service.

Standard features include:

• White List filtering:
  web access is restricted to specific URL addresses

• Black List filtering:
  free web surfing access, except to specific URL addresses

Productivity enhancements include:

• Usage limits by the time of day
  (example: during regular business hours)

• Usage limits by how much time per day
  (example: limit personal surfing to 1 hour per day)

• Wildcard key word blocking

As part of an overall risk-management strategy, ClearPath Networks’ content filtering can play an important role in ensuring that your employees are in compliance with your company's Acceptable Use policies, and complement the below generally accepted Internet usage policies:

• disclaimers warning against the dangers of the Internet to prevent the company from being held liable for material viewed or downloaded

• a 'no expectation of privacy' statement that waives privacy rights over any materials sent or created using the company's computer network

• documentation of network usage limitations that outlines appropriate and inappropriate uses of the computer network resources
