Network security has improved enough that hackers and thieves don’t try to get access directly. Most Internet-borne threats are called social engineering threats because they entice the user to access them willingly.
- Viruses, spyware, and malicious software are frequently uploaded through fringe sites like porn or gambling when a person visits.
- Phishing scams send bogus links in emails to trick people into submitting personal information through a fake site; pharming sites have misspelled URLs and impersonate legitimate sites, waiting for someone to mistype an address.
- The biggest waste of resources is personal browsing on company time, from shopping to offensive content to bandwidth-gobbling downloads and streaming video.
The key to effective Internet blocking is controlling what users can access while not restricting Internet access entirely.
iPrism Internet blocking software delivers this kind of Internet blocking control through the iGuard database.

iGuard is the only 100% human-reviewed URL database available. It divides each individual web page into one of 63 categories, based on the complete content of the page – images, media, text, and context. Internet blocking is configured by setting whether to allow, monitor, or block categories of pages, not specific sites; even as new sites come online or new pages are added, Internet blocking doesn’t need to be updated.
- Easy to configure. iPrism Internet blocking software has a central, web-based configuration console. Setting up filtering is simple, with easy check boxes and menus. It’s simple to set filters, which makes it easier to set precise Internet blocking filters.
- More Internet blocking options. iPrism’s blocking software offers blocking for file types and sizes, URL-based filtering, category-based filtering, and blacklisting, combining more kinds of content filtering rules.
- Different user profiles for different users. iPrism Internet blocking uses profiles to apply access rules, time ranges when filtering is in effect, and overrides, so Internet blocking can be adapted for the different needs of employees within your business. Profiles can be based on existing LDAP directory users and groups, so Internet blocking can be more easily applied.
