ASIA Pacific services provider Pacific Internet has launched a business grade “clean feed” content filtering system that restricts employee access to web sites that pose a security or productivity risk.
The service, launched in partnership with MailGuard and called PacNet CleanWeb, is tailored for the business and government markets.
Pacific Internet senior vice-president Dennis Muscat said the company had previously partnered with MailGuard to launch its PacNet CleanMail service a year ago.
“We’re aware of the vulnerability many businesses face with staff increasingly accessing the web for social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace,” Mr Muscat said.
“This is a threat to organisations both from a security and a productivity perspective.”
CleanWeb helps manage staff productivity and protect the organisation from malicious attacks via the web, as well as potential litigation due to web browsing abuse.
PacNet CleanWeb provides management, control and reporting of the internet web browsing resource in organisations. The service protects networks and systems against web-based threats.
“PacNet CleanWeb gives businesses the opportunity to manage what their users are actually doing,” Mr Muscat said.
“Administrators simply use the console to manage access to the web by user, file types, key words and sites by individual, group or company wide rules as required.”
