Content Filtering

Whether it is your own employees or visitors/guests, once they have high-speed access to the Internet, people will go where you don�t want them to. They may go to gambling sites or seek pornography, visit gaming sites or go shopping. Or, maybe they will release company confidential information or inadvertently bring back a nasty virus.

Content Filtering is the next logical step in managing risk. SURF in Town�s service is able to monitor and filter content from the Internet, chat rooms, and other applications. Because it is a managed service, there are no large capital outlays for on-site equipment, and updates are rapid and network wide.
