Benefits of Our Web Content Filtering Software
Regardless of the growth stage or size of your company, installing content filtering software will do a lot to improve your business functions and create a more productive work environment.
The following sections detail the numerous benefits offered by our DNS filtering solutions.
Web Filtering for Increased Team Productivity
The natural byproduct of limited access to specific sites is that there will be an increase in productivity for your entire team.
If team members don’t have access to online stores, social media, news outlets, or other forms of unrelated web content, their time will be spent doing work-related tasks instead of browsing or getting swept up in sensational stories.
Surveys carried out by networking companies have found that when internet access is unrestricted, 58% of employees waste a minimum of 4 hours per week on social media, news, and other sites unrelated to their work.
This is the equivalent of 26 wasted workdays per year.
How much do you pay your employees per day? Multiply that number by 26 and then multiply that by 58% of your employees, and you’ll have an idea of what internet time waste is costing your organization.
According to the survey, large organizations are also among the heaviest users of corporate content filtering software, with 36% blocking Snapchat, 36% blocking Facebook, 35% blocking Instagram, and 31% blocking Pinterest and Twitter.
Take a memo from some of America’s largest corporations and use a web content filter service to block unproductive sites in Google Safe Search and keep your employees on track with their work duties.
Prevent the Viewing of Adult Content at Work
Unfortunately, streaming services are the least of your worries. Giving team members free-range, unrestricted access to the internet can result in inappropriate situations, such as the viewing of adult content and pornographic content while at work.
In order to maintain a professional, focused workplace environment, it’s important to implement a web content filtering system that allows businesses to restrict the viewing of inappropriate or adult content from work devices. This software should completely block websites and identify content patterns on employee devices, restricting access along the way.
Mitigate Cybersecurity Risks with Content Filters
Whether it’s viruses, malware, a phishing attack, or cybersecurity measure incidents, an attack on your company has the potential to sow chaos in your organization.
Because allowing unlimited access to all websites has the potential to result in the accidental downloading of viruses or malware, it’s a good business precaution to limit access to unnecessary non-work-related websites with the help of web content filtering and DNS filtering.
By blocking access to personal email services, social media accounts, and other non-work-related sites with content filtering, you mitigate the risk of employees exposing your organization to data theft and cyberattacks.
Protecting your company’s information and internal security is paramount and can be done by installing web content filtering programs for social networking sites, streaming services, and other platforms not related to your workplace.
Improve Network Bandwidth Efficiency
One of the major frustrations that many companies experience is slow or unreliable network connections. These can also be improved by filtering content and installing filtering programs.
Teams report experiencing a faster, more secure connection when non-work-related internet activity is limited (especially when streaming sites are blocked). This is because you will reduce network bandwidth use and web traffic, thus giving back speed to your existing systems.
Mitigate the Likelihood of Company Scandals
Another benefit of internet content filters is that by avoiding non-work-related content on the web, companies also reduce the risk of facing liabilities related to unpalatable websites being visited from one of the company’s IP addresses. Content filtering related terms can block access to everything from malicious software, malicious websites, violent content, hate sites, internet-borne malware, phishing attacks, and more.
It can be difficult (or even impossible) to rebuild a company’s reputation if its name becomes associated with extremely negative undesirable content browsing.
This is why it’s so important for companies to protect their name and mitigate liabilities by restricting all access to websites that could endanger their reputation or put them at risk of legal action being taken against them, like the Children’s Internet Protection Act and more. Adding a DNS layer to your solutions will help block malicious content and access to risky sites, thus keeping your company safe.
