Web filtering for Government agencies

Internet risk in the US Government

US Government Departments and Agencies are called upon to provide dependable service; however, their costs must remain within set budgets. Government agencies, typically keepers of sensitive and secure information, need to ensure that security issues relating to the Internet are addressed on an ongoing basis. If inappropriate Web use or malware places a network at risk, the consequences for a tax-funded establishment are costly and potentially reputation damaging.

Inappropriate Internet access can also have serious legal ramifications, even internally, as employees are now suing employers over exposure to offensive material within the workplace.

As budgets limit staff size, maximizing productivity is a priority. Employees admit to wasting 2.09 hours a day on the Internet (AOL/Salary.com), and 46% of online shopping occurs at work (Business Software Alliance). Also, malware places a burden on IT staff, sapping their time, and, consequently, tax dollars.
