Web Content Filtering - Overview

Filtering web content is now a much more sophisticated science than simply blocking pornography and other inappropriate material. A fully featured filter enables administrators to enforce the AUP and avoid legal or security risks. Web content filtering is also proven to significantly improve productivity and protect networks from dangerous web-borne threats.
