ContentProtect Educational Suite allows you to block major bandwidth hogging Internet use by employees like Peer-To-Peer downloading and streaming audio. This frees up bandwidth that guarantees faster throughput for your mission critical applications. It may even eliminate or delay the need to purchase additional bandwidth. ContentProtect Educational Suite often pays for itself in bandwidth savings alone.
Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management
Schools and other public organisations must sometimes comply with certain regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GLBA, and SEC/SOx). Additionally, legal liability risks around users downloading MP3's and full-length DVDs on school or library hard drives are becoming a major concern. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America recently warned corporations and similar organisations will be held liable for breaking copyright laws if employees or users use networks to download, store, or distribute music or movies illegally (Source IDC). ContentProtect Educational Suite provides easy to install and maintain solutions that assist with mitigation of similar risks, and aid in certain aspects of regulatory compliance.
Reporting
ContentWatch provides the ability for Administrators and/or Managers to view reports anywhere and at any time. Reports are stored in the ContentWatch Data Centre (CDC). Having data stored in the CDC permits access to online reports from any Internet connection in the world. Administrators can check on the Internet activity of their users from work or even from a hotel room while travelling. Reports include sites visited, attempted sites visited, logs of Instant Messages and email, attempts to remove or circumvent the filter, and more. Managers have actionable data to better manage their network resources. The Bottom Line: Content filtering is a wise and prudent decision for any and every School, Library or public network.
