NetDefend Web Content Filtering helps monitor, manage, and control employee usage of and access to the Internet.



Internet access has become critical to sustaining an enterprise's daily business activities. However, employees might access harmful, inappropriate, and dangerous websites, which cause productivity downgrade, resource waste, cyber risk exposure, and regulation compliance issues. With the D-Link?? NetDefend??? Web Content Filtering (WCF) service, enterprises could apply more granular control on web surfing according to its own policy.



A number of legislated regulations contain content filtering requirements that can be met using D-Link NetDefend WCF. For example, the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires all schools and libraries that receive E-Rate funding to adopt an Internet safety policy and employ protection that block or filter visual depictions deemed obscene, pornographic, or harmful to minors.



Organizations gain significant cost savings through:

1) A reduction in wasted staff time by reducing inappropriate web surfing.

2) Reduced Internet access costs and bandwidth savings by limiting and controlling non-business related uses, thus improving network response time.

3) Reducing legal exposure to workplace conflicts and liabilities (e.g. sexual harassment cases or child pornography and the adverse publicity that such incidents can generate).

4) Reduced costs in recovering from attacks as much less inappropriate content will even be allowed to enter the network.
