Productivity Control

Productivity control was one of the first issues that organizations had to deal with after their employees started to use the Internet. Employees accessed websites for business reasons, but also for personal use. They visited undesirable sites that contained adult content, gambling, gaming, trading, shopping or entertainment. This widespread non-work related use resulted in reduced productivity, waste of bandwidth, and liability issues. URL filtering is a powerful tool to manage Internet access, especially when combined with a unified Web security solution.

Finjan's Secure Web Gateway, Vital Cloud and Vital Cloud Hybrid solutions enables productivity, liability and bandwidth control combined with superior Crimeware filtering, by integrating two leading URL filtering solutions. As a result, these unified solutions give organizations control, security and compliance for all their web productivity, liability and security needs. With Finjan’s solutions,  organizations can set policies for dozens of web categories, including Web 2.0, business related sites, Web email, streaming media, personals/dating, society/lifestyle and dozens others.

Filters can also be set up for specific time of day.
