Web Content Filtering and Network Security is a system that will pay for itself in a short time. Figure out how much money can be saved with the calculator on the right.

Web Content Filtering

What is Web Content Filtering?
Web Content Filtering blocks detrimental websites. Monitoring identifies who, where and how long employees are playing on the Internet.

Why Web Content Filtering?
Web Content Filtering curtails users from playing on the internet instead of working. See these supporting articles:

"March 15th Internet Slowdown"
"The Next Generation of Content Filters Is Here"

How does it work?
We use Sonicwall Total Secure with Web Content Filtering and Viewpoint, Sonicwall’s Web usage reporting software.

How much does it cost?
Use the “The Cost of Internet Abuse” calculator (see this page upper right side) to quantify what Internet abuse is costing your company. Now let’s review the costs and savings:

INITIAL COST 
         
YEARLY COST (pick one option)  
Typical initial purchase and install $1,129 (based on 10 users 1 site)
  Option 1
  Software licensing per year $195 (based on 10 users 1 site)
  ICS monitors and reports Internet abuse monthly: $960 per year
  Total yearly cost $1,155  
  Option 2
  Software licensing per year $195 (based on 10 users 1 site)
  ICS monitors and reports Internet abuse for two quarters: $540 per year
  Total yearly cost $735  
  Option 3
  Software licensing per year $195 (based on 10 users 1 site)
  Set up Viewpoint on your XP pro PC $395 ONE TIME FEE
  And you monitor $?? add in your internal costs


Compare these costs against “The Cost of Internet Abuse” Which is more? Now add the value of lowering the Network Down risk factor.

Network Security

What?
A Firewall can block the roads hackers travel to access your network. The Total Secure software blocks SPAM, Viruses, Spyware and most Hackers with Intrusion Prevention. The excellent logging features identifies the source of the Virus, Spyware or Intrusion.

Why?
Computer and network downtime costs money. SPAM costs employee time. There is more SPAM and malware this year and the number of hackers and hacks are exponentially climbing due to the easy availability of hack tools and “How to Hack” information is easy to get. See these supporting articles:

'Storm' Trojan Hits 1.6 Million PCs; Vista May Be Vulnerable
Spam Volume Jumps 35% In November
Cybercrime flourishes in online hacker forums
Cyber Crime By The Numbers Oct 2006

How?
The Sonicwall’s firewall only allows specific traffic into your network and the Total Secure software automatically stops the bad guys at the gate using its database. The database is updated every hour for known threats! SPAM is blocked using Real Time Blacklist websites of your choosing.

Go to our “Network Down Cost Analysis Calculator” and calculate what it costs to lose access to your data. Now go to the “SPAM cost Calculator” or just use the figures from the calculator at the upper right of this page. Add up the costs and review the savings:

INITIAL COST
Typical initial purchase and install $0 the cost is included in the Web Content Filtering estimate above
YEARLY COST
Software licensing per year $0 the cost is included in the Web Content Filtering estimate above

Add the savings of “The Cost of Internet Abuse” and a lowered risk factor for a Network Down event. Does it make sense to implement this system for your organization?
