In your business, productivity can be severely affected when staff surf the Web at inappropriate times. Using sites and applications such as Social Networking, Online Gambling, Games and Web Surfing, can often become obsessive.
The Firewall in your business can enforce a "one size fits all" policy, but does not offer the flexibility to allow staff to use websites responsibly.
Making payments over the web can be a security risk. Malicious code, embedded into the payment systems of many small shops, can compromise PC and network security.
Laptop users can gain access to the internet from Hotel Rooms and WiFi Access Points.
They will not be protected by your Firewall at this point, and may not elect to log onto the corporate VPN.

preventing the unauthorised use of Credit Cards, Websites and Applications.
Using a flexible challenge system the Blocker can: Challenge for extra security information, in the form of a Username and password; Block content without exception; Allow content if an Access Time is defined; and finally Allow content without restriction.
