Businesses typically use both regular Internet browsing and instant messaging throughout the day. The iPrism employee monitoring system filters every packet on the network, both inbound and outbound, through fast kernel-level filtering and fully human-reviewed content filters. This enables your employees to browse the web and use a variety of common IM programs safely.
There are a couple of different ways to implement content filtering for employee monitoring. Hardware employee monitoring solutions usually involve buying additional software for a firewall or configuring the firewall to block IP addresses. The major drawback with hardware filtering is that it offers almost no control over specific sites or pages which are blocked or allowed; this makes it difficult to implement employee monitoring since it cant track employee actions and cant determine which sites are problematic. Software filters provide more flexibility in how they are configured and more accuracy in what sites are blocked, but there are still problems implementing them effectively, especially if the employee monitoring software has to be installed on each individual computer. The methods which the employee monitoring software uses to filter content can be patchy, and they must be frequently updated to address new websites. |

Because it is a hardware appliance, iPrism can be dropped into your network infrastructure without having to reconfigure any of your network devices. The iPrism employee monitoring system leverages kernel-level filtering tools to filter every packet of traffic. Employee monitoring and filtering is much faster since packets dont have to be routed through an application, so lag is decreased. Additionally, every single packet is filtered since every packet has to pass through the appliance before being sent forward, guaranteeing that no dangerous requests are missed.
iPrism incorporates the strongest aspects of both software and hardware filters to provide the most comprehensive employee monitoring service. iPrism groups every individual web page into categories. The categories are set in an industry-leading iPrism employee monitoring database, iGuard, which is updated hourly. Every page is filtered by keywords and human-reviewed for context. iPrism also provides user profiles which block or allow different categories for different employees within your company, so employee monitoring is more precise. iPrism emphasizes business-friendly tools like real-time overrides, notifications of blocked content, and network-wide reporting which make it easier for companies to institute employee monitoring that fits their employees. |
