Internet Threat Protection for the Public Sector

Local and central governments face unique challenges when it comes to e-mail and Internet security. The increased use of the Internet to facilitate good business practices within local and central government and public sector agencies has led to a number of issues:

What is the most efficient way to keep the network secure?

How do we allow users access to the information they need when they need it?

How do we protect employees from the risks that the Internet opens up?

Balancing Rights
Because government and public sector agencies ultimately answer to taxpayers, it is important that they select effective, yet economical solutions to these challenges. Balancing the rights for local and central government users to access the information they need, sharing information securely across differing government factions, combined with the ability to keep undesirable content away and protect confidential data are key requirements and ones that Data Connect can help with.

Internet misuse can pose a variety of problems for managers and IT administrators, and, increasingly, it is potentially very dangerous. It is important for government bodies to protect themselves from the legal liabilities, the security breaches, and the productivity loss that can result from unmanaged Internet use.

Data Connect, in partnership with SurfControl, provide flexible tools to manage Internet use according to time of day, department, users and groups which can automate the organisation's written Internet usage policy. This means local and central government agencies never have to worry about employees surfing for illicit material or wasting valuable network resources.
