About Web Filtering
In a business landscape where it’s vital to focus attention on core activity, Information Technology has to be an
enabling business tool without soaking up employee hours.
Today 52% of companies report misuse of internet
resources in the work environment with the two most common misuses being access to inappropriate websites
(41%) and excessive web surfing (36%) (DTI Information Security Breaches survey 2006). Spyware, viruses and
other harmful malware is also propagated in increasing frequency via Internet browsing. The result for many
organisations is that a necessary business tool has become a high cost and risk.
MySpamBin's web filtering service quite simply removes the headache, allowing clients to get on with effectively running their
business. By scanning all web requests before they get delivered back to the requesting user, MySpamBin
ensures that there is low risk to the organisation without costly hardware or software needing to be installed on
the client network.
