Internet Content filtering (ICF) is the ability to block and allow specific internet traffic from your business network. It has the ability to block access to streaming audio, video, FTP and chat features that come with most websites today .

An ICF system not only protects your network and is an effective strategy against viruses, spyware and malware but can also increase internet speed and staff productivity.

Most businesses are unaware of the network bandwidth consumption associated with listening to online music. This type of activity not only affects the network performance but it can also degrade network performance for everyone else on the network.

Business productivity can also be affected. No Content Filtering means people have the ability to access anything they like. Social websites, instant chat messaging programs, dating sites is an example of how valuable work time can be easily wasted. Employers don’t have the time to be looking over their workers shoulders but rather trust their workers are doing the right thing. Unfortunately the temptation of the internet is just too great for some.

A good Internet Content Filtering system can still give people freedom in using the internet but has the ability to block unnecessary traffic that can harm or otherwise affect network performance as well as decrease business productivity.
