Web filtering for Healthcare organizations

The numbers are concerning...

  • Employees admit to wasting 2.09 hours a day on the Internet (AOL/Salary.com)
  • The estimated nationwide cost to the American economy is approximately $759 billion per year
  • 46% of on line shopping occurs at work (Business Software Alliance)
  • While at work, 45% of employees make travel arrangements, 37% of employees report that they search for jobs and 11% play games on the internet. (Vault.com)

Healthcare is a demanding and fast-paced industry. Organizations cannot afford employee productivity hampered by offensive and inoffensive Internet access.

Security issues associated with Internet use are paramount for healthcare organizations. The Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandate a safeguarded network to protect patient data. Malware, spyware, and other dangers are especially damaging and draining to IT management time.

If an appropriate Internet policy is not put in place and an effective Internet filtering solution implemented, the financial, legal, and public relations consequences can be devastating.
