Hi folks,
We are a relatively small company computer wise - 20 odd workstations, which will in a span of a few months, grow to about 35 workstations.
Up to this point, it has been mostly managers who have been utilizing the computers - non-managers have an installed security software that prohibits browsing to any website other than the ones on an allowed list - but this is on a pc by pc basis.
With this new growth, comes the availability for virtually any employee to utilize a computer. And going the pc by pc basis mentioned above lends to a very heavy administrative tasks.
We are leaning towards aquiring an appliance content filter which will filter out most - but I am very much aware we need to install a corporate internet policy.
While on one hand, I have no desire to be *big brother is watching*, I also recognize the need for the company to protect itself, incase an employee instigates a lawsuit by using a company email address, etc.
Does anybody have experience in implimenting one of these from the ground up and give me pointers?
Thank you
