co-workers surf habits. According to the survey, the Internet is
still a relatively unmonitored medium with 60 percent of the
respondents indicating their organizations did not have rules
against personal Web surfing at work, and more than 50 percent of
organizations have not implemented any type of Internet filtering
technology.

for organizations especially when it comes to employees being
exposed to pornography at the office and employees using corporate
resources to download, store and exchange copyrighted material.
Inappropriate use of the Internet at work may give rise to serious
disciplinary problems in the workplace. Results from the
Cerberian/SonicWALL Web Usage Survey validate the need for
organizations to implement Internet access policies and content
filtering technologies.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the simplest way to transfer web page files from your computer to the Charter web server for anyone to view.
Laptop Computers "SonicWALL and Cerberian compiled the results of this survey to
give organizations a better understanding of how to balance the
wants of employees and the needs of the business," said Matt
Mosman, chief executive officer of Cerberian. "The results of the
survey are clear in that 63% of employees are concerned about the
ease of access to objectionable content at work. Our technologies
protect organizations and employees from the inherent risks of the
Internet. We recommend that organizations take the initiative and
implement the appropriate Internet access policies to help
strengthen employee productivity and network security."

Laptop Computer According to the survey the most common ways people have
accidentally reached pornographic content on the Web are:
Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. earthlink.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 192.164.13.145). When a visitor requests a page from within the LogoYes website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact,
Desktop Computer -- Pop up windows (55%),
Notebooks -- Misrepresented links (52%),
Lenovo -- Misspelled URLs (48%), and
Hard Drive -- Auto links within emails (23%).
Travelstar While the survey indicates it is common to accidentally come
across pornographic web sites, the survey also reported the
following:
Gateway -- 16 percent of people have knowingly surfed pornography sites
at work at least once;
Laptop Parts -- 40 percent have seen co-workers surfing porn sites;
Software -- 32 percent of people have seen co-workers surf gambling
sites;
Hard Drives -- 91 percent have seen people shopping online; and
Electronics -- 85 percent have seen co-workers surfing sports-related web
sites.
Canon The survey also asked how people felt after seeing co-workers
surf pornography, gambling, shopping and sports web sites.
Sixty-eight percent were bothered by pornography surfing, with 47
percent bothered enough to confront the offender or mention it to
management/human resources. Fifty-nine percent were offended by
gambling surfing, 35 percent by shopping online and 29 percent by
sports surfing.
Desktop Pc "It is clear from the survey that there is a growing awareness
among individuals as well as organizations of the problems
resulting from unregulated employee Internet access," said Matthew
Medeiros, chief executive officer at SonicWALL. "While pornography
is obviously the biggest concern, other surfing habits, from
shopping to sports, are absorbing an increasing amount of employee
attention inside organizations. Lost productivity as well as
security issues and the abuse of network resources will continue to
mount unless businesses formulate and enforce Internet access
policies and internal controls."
Desktop Computers Cerberian's advanced Web filtering solution is more accurate and
more effective than traditional filtering solutions. As a result of
its Dynamic Real-Time Rating (DRTR) Technology, Cerberian's
intelligent filtering solution rises above the competition and in
turn provides the best Web management tool and filtering technology
available.
Think Pad In 2003, SonicWALL selected Cerberian's master ratings database
as the rating database for SonicWALL's Content Filtering Service
(CFS) 2.0., which is integrated with SonicWALL's family of security
gateway appliances to provide policy enforcement and protection
from unwanted and inappropriate Internet content for businesses and
schools. SonicWALL CFS 2.0 enforces content filtering policies by
combining Cerberian's rating database with SonicWALL's unique and
innovative filtering and caching architecture to enforce the
desired levels of access for groups and individuals.
Repair "We have the most effective and efficient solution available to
protect against the threats we see from this survey. Folks who are
concerned about employee Internet access need to deploy Cerberian's
solution," said Matt Mosman. "Other vendors who merely rely on URL
filters are not capable of providing the same level of protection.
We don't rely on human raters to find the latest threats on the
Net; rather we use intelligent technology to do the hard work for
us, which has proven to be more accurate and more efficient."
