The business risks associated with inappropriate Web surfing by employees can't be overstated. In fact, research conducted by IDC from 2002-2004 concluded that companies lose up to $3,000 per employee per year due to non-business-related Internet activity. What's more, a host of other risks besides lost productivity stem from uncontrolled Web surfing by business users. Download this paper from MessageLabs to learn what those risks are and why you need a properly enforced acceptable usage policy (AUP) to mitigate them. The paper describes how the real-time Web filtering and URL categorization capabilities that are built into the MessageLabs Web Control managed service make it easy and cost-effective for you to enforce your AUP while still offering users legitimate access to the sites that can actually help them do their jobs.
