Web Filtering Solutions for the Public Sector & Local Education Authorities

Public sector organisations are often geographically dispersed with regional and branch offices inter-connected via a WAN to the centre of operations. The ability to manage a central Internet Usage Policy and deploy it across all offices is essential for governance and legal compliance.

The number of cases of Internet misuse by government employees is increasing all the time:-

• A teacher who starred in a "suggestive" Internet advert has been suspended from her job at a private school (2008)

• The DVLA dismissed 18 people and 147 others were officially reprimanded as a result of pornographic image downloads (2007)

• A doctor who prescribed large amounts of dangerous addictive drugs over the Internet has been suspended from the medical register. (2007)

• 5 lecturers at Swansea College have lost their jobs for sharing soft-porn pictures and jokes. (2006)

• Forty-one Lothian and Borders Police officers and six support staff are under investigation over alleged misuse of the Internet and e-mail (2004)

• Twenty-five workers at a north London council have been suspended over allegations involving the distribution of obscene material from the Internet (2003)
