MS: High Risk Internet Access and Employee Productivity
Job searching, IM chat, blogging, file sharing, shopping, streaming music/video, online gaming...there are lots of ways for employees to waste time at work and each of them is a compelling reason for your organization to have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). However, if you rely only on an AUP, you are setting an expectation without enforcing the policy and combating productivity loss.
Controlling what end users do on the Internet is not only productivity issue. Companies are now required to have tools in place to enforce Acceptable Use Policies. An employee downloading objectionable materials can create a hostile work environment for coworkers and a legal liability for the employer. Downloading “free” applications from known spyware sites can load a PC with so much spyware the only fix for the IT department is a complete reinstall of the operating system. Uncontrolled Internet access is no longer a simple case of one employee wasting company time. Other employees and the entire IT department can be negatively affected.
Join us for a technical seminar on high risk Internet access and learn how to increase productivity and safeguard your organization from security breaches, liability, and resource loss with the right policy and the right technology.
During the seminar you will learn:
- Why an AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) is a critical tool for protecting your organization from Internet-based threats
- How to formulate an AUP that specifically addresses the threats associated with non-business related surfing, spyware, Face Book, IM and P2P applications
- How an effective AUP, based on best practices, can ultimately reduce your exposure to risk, support your business goals, and help overcome legal and regulatory challenges
- How an enforced effective AUP can increase employee productivity
- How to easily and cost-effectively enforce your AUP with best-of-breed solutions such as St. Bernard’s iPrism dedicated Internet-filtering appliance
All attendees will receive a free ePolicy Guide with sample policies just for attending!
