IT pain points
Social Media costs the UK economy up to £14 billion in lost work time; nearly
two million workers spend over an hour per day 'Facebooking' at work
– Survey by MyJobGroup.co.uk, August 2010
Research by IDC shows that up to 40% of employee Internet activity is nonwork related
Social networking sites are a hotbed for distributing malware via shared links;
Koobface is a perfect example, targeting millions of Facebook and
Twitter users
Social networking phishing attacks up by more than 240% over 2008

Banning access to the Internet is not a solution

What’s new in GFI WebMonitor 2011 R2?
Anonymization of personal data (all editions)
» This option helps comply with the law (notably in Italy and Germany)
that requires any personally identifiable information to not be easily
available and revealed only under certain circumstances (e.g.,
investigation by relevant authorities). GFI WebMonitor now allows
anonymization of personal data, which makes all personal data in
reports visible only by using the four-eye principle (which requires at
least two people to witness/approve a certain activity).
Enforcing of SafeSearch (WebFilter edition)
» SafeSearch can now be mandated on search engines. This option is
typically customizable at the user level, i.e., the user can disable it,
however, when enabling this feature, the personal option will be
overridden and the one mandated by GFI WebMonitor will be
used instead.

» Browsing policies based on time and bandwidth
(WebFilter edition of both versions)
» Proxy caching for improved performance and reduced bandwidth
consumption (standard version)
» HTTPS scanning for enhanced filtering and control (standard version)

Testimonials
“Trussbilt decided to purchase GFI products because they are designed with
the SMB in mind and the features offered an excellent fit for the company.
With GFI software installed, the company was able to ensure that email
received was free of spam and viruses while giving IT administrators full
control over the use of the Internet within the organization; thereby cutting
down on unnecessary, non work-related Internet browsing and greatly
reducing the risk that inappropriate content could be viewed on company
machines. The growing threat from infected websites and malicious
downloads was also a concern, especially for
an organization working in the security business.”
– Mark Harvey, Trussbilt
“GFI gave us the feature set that we were looking for at the greatest value
by far. It is a cost-effective solution and it has saved us operational time.”
– Mr. Laskowski, Aegisoft
