The Internet today has evolved significantly from what it once was. Thanks to the dynamic nature of Web 2.0 applications and user-contributed content, it grows bigger by the minute. While most malware in the past was distributed via email, more recently the Web has been the primary attack vector used by malware authors to distribute malicious code.
Web Filtering is more than just making sure employees aren't wasting time. It's about making sure they don't put the organization at risk.
