Surfwall Remote from Omniquad is an advanced security system
that not only puts employers in full control of their employees’ web
access but also allows employees to access blocked sites and, all with
the bosses’ approval!
If your company’s web security system only sees security in terms of
black and white, you’ll be fully aware of how frustrating it is for employees to
be denied access to Ebay, social networking sites and personal email
accounts like hotmail. There is no doubt that a blanket ban on many
categories saves businesses time and money by preventing wasted hours
and potential threats from dodgy downloads, but many of these systems
are far too rigid in their approach and leave employees feeling
frustrated.
(EDITOR: One especially useless service provider actually blocked staff at a newspaper publishing house from even being able to upload content to the company news sites!)
There are many genuine reasons why some employees may need access to
Facebook for example, particularly if your company has a Facebook page
and there is no reason why employees can’t access certain sites during
lunch hours. Yet businesses still need a high level of security and
control over what employees can and cannot access on their networks.
Security firm Omniquad have now solved this taxing problem by launching
an upgrade to their Surfwall Remote security system. This cloud based
service allows employers to control web access using over 90 site
categories such as gambling, games, adult, news, sport, media streaming
etc. This allows employers to either block, limit access or allow full
access to certain employee groups. However - and this is the clever bit
- these categories can be further configured so that employees are
allowed access to Facebook for example, but not any of its applications
or video streaming.
What’s more is that time restrictions can be set
on these categories so that employees can access certain sites during
their lunchbreak or after work hours. And should an employee have a
genuine reason to visit a blocked site, they can override their boss and
be granted access for a specific time, as the policy editor of the
system now includes a Temporary Exclusion feature. The IT administrator
will be informed of this access and the reasons why and will be given a
further option to grant permanent access or not.
This soft approach not only makes life easier for employees but keeps businesses safe and in full control of web usage.
Surfwall Remote does not require any downloads or software, just a
simple, easy setting change on the network that takes a few minutes of
your time. After that a clear, user-friendly interface will guide you
through the policy settings where you can also get full statistics on
web usage, including real-time reports which you can view by user,
session or bandwidth. Policies can be changed instantly and full usage
reports emailed daily, weekly or monthly.
Right now businesses can try out Surfwall Remote for 30 days with no
obligation to buy. So find out how we can make both you and your
employees happy and productive!
