REDUCE OPERATIONAL RISKS
Ensuring enforcement of policies and mitigating operational risks
Some users resent having their web behavior monitored and controlled, which causes them to look for ways to circumvent web security. Users who flaunt policies or work around monitoring and controls introduce significant security and compliance risks.
The Webroot® SecureAnywhere Web Security Service addresses these risks, which are common weaknesses of other solutions, with a design aimed at preventing circumvention. It ensures that all web traffic is directed, monitored and reported through the service. In particular, it reduces the risks associated with remote users and also enforces compliance in environments with highly IT literate users such as schools and colleges.
IT now provides a service to HR that enforces corporate web usage policies via website category blocking… From a corporate risk perspective, there are just certain types of Web sites we do not want people visiting… These days there is so much risk involved from an HR and Legal perspective that Web filtering must be part of your basic toolkit.

ANONYMIZING PROXY DETECTION »Other web security solutions attempt to block access to anonymizing proxy sites using URL filtering policies. However, new sites pop up constantly, and technically astute employees can build their own anonymizers with simple downloadable code. Both new sites and sites set up by employees will not be in any URL filtering lists. |
