Research
by IDC shows that up to 40% of employee Internet access is non-work related.
While shutting off Internet access is impractical, Internet monitoring and
access control software enables network administrators to reduce unproductive
Internet use: GFI WebMonitor™ helps you boost employee productivity by giving
you the ability to monitor and control Internet access in real time, ensuring
that employee web browsing activity is aligned with business needs, and that any
files downloaded are free of viruses and other malware.

Internet monitoring
GFI WebMonitor's
Internet monitoring capabilities provide visibility into what sites your users
are browsing, how much time they are spending and how much bandwidth they're
consuming. It also provides interactive drill-down capabilities, showing you the
site categories being visited by particular users, how much time and bandwidth
is being consumed, and more. This is often the first step towards formulating an
effective Internet Usage Policy that meets your specific business needs.
Web filtering
with time, bandwidth and category based policies
GFI WebMonitor
lets you define web filtering and web browsing policies to help enforce an
effective Internet Usage Policy. Administrators can allow or restrict access to
different website categories as well as setting time or bandwidth thresholds, on
a per user or per IP basis. GFI WebMonitor's extensive site categorization
database, with coverage of over 205,000,000 domains that are updated daily,
enables you to manage what sites your users can browse while blocking access to
websites in particular categories, such as adult materials, gaming, personal
email, P2P, social networks like Facebook and MySpace, and more.
Web security to
protect against viruses, spyware, phishing scams and other malware
GFI WebMonitor
also offers web security features that allow you to define policies which
control what type of files your users can download - blocking dangerous file
types such as executables and others like MP3s, on a per user or per IP basis.
GFI WebMonitor uses multiple antivirus engines to scan all downloads for
viruses, spyware and malware, and lowers the risk of social engineering by
blocking access to phishing websites. It also allows you to monitor and block
MSN/Live Messenger chat sessions and file transfers while its HTTPS scanning
ensures that users do not bypass your web security measures by downloading files
through an HTTPS-encrypted channel.
