Internet Security Tools used to monitor inappropriate usage of the Internet and block access to undesirable or unsuitable content

Internet Security Tools

Internet Filtering Tools and Internet Security Tools have become a fundamental requirement of daily business. Without them, users' mailboxes can be flooded with spam e-mail and also, they may be tempted to to spend valuable company time using Internet resources for non-corporate uses. And how many people do you know that have contracted severely destructive computer viruses from e-mail?

Although figures between surveys vary, one new study finds that with managing e-mail taking up more than an hour of many workers' days, at least 34 percent of messages do not contain any information employees need to do their jobs properly. "We were shocked by the result," said Neil MacDonald, vice president and director of research with Gartner Inc., a research advisory firm in Stamford, Ct. "What this means is a third of that time, or roughly a third, is wasted." Furthermore, in a self-commissioned survey, Gartner asked 330 business e-mail users in a variety of occupations and job titles about the contents of their e-mail in boxes. The company found that the average e-mail user spends 49 minutes managing e-mail on the job each day, and a quarter spend more than an hour a day managing e-mail. Showing a slightly higher figure, a SPAM/UCE Research Initiative report recently said e-mail users estimate 39 percent of all mail they receive each day is junk.
