Effective Web policies: ensuring staff productivity and legal compliance

Tags:
security management

Overview Employees increasingly expect to use the Internet at work for their own personal use in return for longer hours, working from home and interrupting vacations. This has a number of security, productivity, bandwidth and legal ramifications that require organizations to create and implement a Web usage policy that is backed up by effective Web filtering tools. This paper discusses how to create a policy that balances an organization's need for protection against an individual's expectations.
