Inappropriate Content
The main risk organizations have incurred as a result of their employees
having access to the Internet are the dangers posed by inappropriate content.
Web sites with pornographic, racist, violent or hostile subject matter can have
serious consequences
when accessed by employees at work. Even relatively
benign sites such as those
that offer shopping or music downloads also have
risks associated with them. On the
whole, the serious consequences of this
sort of unmanaged Web access are well-understood by most organizations:
- Employees downloading content from inappropriate
sites
- Lost productivity from visiting
inappropriate
sites or other
non-work related sites
- Bandwidth drain due to large mp3-type or video files being downloaded
Employee Internet abuse is not going away. According to a poll by the Computer Security Institute, 78 percent of companies surveyed reported employee abuse of Internet privileges.
