Cut cyberloafing and reduce risk with effective web filtering
A ThreatLocker audit showed 43% of companies had at least one employee visit an adult website on a work computer within a recent seven-day period. But even innocently unproductive staffers have a penchant for cyberloafing.
A recent academic study found that 10–30% of work time (1 to 2 hours per day) is lost to non‑work browsing resulting in over 25,000 person‑hours lost annually in a typical company.
Web content filtering keeps employees focused on business use by blocking inappropriate or unapproved sites that could impact productivity or security. Web content filtering also tackles the issue of shadow IT, which can include unauthorized tools like Dropbox or Trello. If a tool isn't approved, it should be blocked, and employees who wish to use that tool should submit a request for proper review and audit.
