Did you know that on average employees spend 20 – 25% of their time using the Internet for non-sanctioned purposes? In a tough economy the last thing we can afford is to have productivity decline or have our network infected with unexplained spyware and malware. Even just an hour a day of non-business related use for an employee means 6 days a year of lost productivity to your business. It also puts company and employees at risk to a number of security vulnerabilities and possible compliance issues. The Launch Pad’s RevITup™ WebSentry is the first hosted solution to provide small and medium sized businesses complete visibility and control over web content, web applications and web threats. Hosted means there is nothing to buy; only a low monthly fee and it is managed by our team 24/7.
Boost your Business Security IQ by learning the top 5 benefits the RevITup™ WebSentry offers:
(and sign up our September 30th webinar, Who Let the Cloud In? Time to Up Your Business’s Security IQ)
1. Bandwidth Optimization: Manage priorities on the Internet and optimize your productivity by placing parameters on your organizations bandwidth. Control non-critical applications, such as Internet radio and instant messaging, by scaling back bandwidth while pumping it up for critical applications such as voice over IP or VPN.
2. Website Filtering & IM Management: Gain visibility into employee productivity by monitroing
instant messaging frequency/conversations and web browsing. Each month companies lose thousands of dollars of productivity to Internet abuse.
3. Internet Usage Reporting: Do you know which employees are surfing the web, what sites they are visiting and how much bandwidth they are consuming on the network? Our weekly reports will identify which users are spending the most time browsing the web and where they are going.
4. Spyware & Virus Blocking: Web browsing leaves your network vulnerable to spyware and malware. The RevITup™ WebSentry stops spyware and viruses at the edge of the network so machines do not get infected, saving you time and trouble.
5. Policy Management: The RevITup™ WebSentry equips you and your management team with the tools you need to build policies for application priority, content, time-of-day, threat and access policies and much more. Our policy management feature set lets you control Who, What, When and How your organizations uses the Internet. An expert Client Solutions Manager will build your key reports and have them delivered to your inbox daily.
Seeing what your employees are actually doing and gaining visibility on Internet usage is a critical step to securing your network. I can also be an eye opening experience in understanding employee productivity management. In observance of IT Security Month, The Launch Pad is offering a free 30 Day trial of the RevITup™ WebSentry.
