Legal Liability Corporate organisations have always faced potential civil and criminal liability for employee misuse of IT resources, but did
you know that criminal liability can be attached directly to the Directors and Senior Managers within your business. Take a preventive approach with e-safe business and reduce the risk of IT related dismissals, tribunals and criminal
proceedings associated with the following legislation:
Obscene Publications Act 1964
Disability Discrimination Act 1995
Sex Discrimination Act 1975
Defamation Act 1996
Race Relations Act 2002
Data Protection Act 1998
Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1998
Human Rights Act
Computer Misuse Act 1990 All employees have a legitimate belief to be free to use
equipment provided to them. They also have a legal
right to access IT systems which protect their online
welfare and safety. However, whilst being a useful tool in the workplace,
the Internet contains inappropriate images and
offensive content, it is time wasting and assists with
bullying, data loss and identity theft. Organisations
need to be aware of these dangers and understand
that they have a legal obligation to ensure that
all employees access the Internet in a secure and
responsible way thereby protecting their reputation,
preserving their client data and maintaining their duty
of care to employees.
| Loss of Productivity
More employees are spending increasing amounts
of time using the Corporate IT resources to carry
out their daily duties. Email, Instant Messaging and
collaboration tools, together with high speed internet
access are the fundamental requirements for today’s
business.
The issue is that many employees utilise the corporate
resources in exactly the same way as they would use
their home computers. Access to social networking
sites, shopping, gambling, online gaming, the
downloading of music and films and the access of
inappropriate materials all has to have an impact
on employee productivity. Such activity can also
compromise network security, put client data at risk,
become a major drain on infrastructure bandwidth and
damage the reputation of the business. | Damage to Brand and Reputation One of the most valuable assets within an organisation is the Corporate brand and reputation. High profile exposure can either enhance or damage these assets. The financial cost
of negative exposure is extremely high and can take years to redeem. Some organisations never recover. e-safe business can help : • maintain standards and assist you with monitoring the corporate acceptable use policy.
• mitigate the risk of a damaged brand.
• maintain digital safety and legal responsibility. | How does e-safe business work?
Image Interdiction
Unlike conventional gateway web filters which only attempt
to block access to known pornographic websites, our Image
Interdiction software is able to detect pornography, regardless
of its source.
Using world leading content-based image processing algorithms,
e-safe business captures images that are displayed on a PC screen
and determines the probability of the image being pornographic. If
a positive identifi cation is made the image is either replaced with a
non-off ensive image (company logo etc), or the user is warned that
the image to be displayed may be off ensive.
All pornographic images captured will be logged and stored,
along with the PC name, user name, time, date and the action
taken. Authorised personnel can then review suspected
pornographic images and provide appropriate reports on
improper usage. |  | | | User Monitoring e-safe business monitoring provides contextual text-string analysis of all information displayed within a Windows environment . This includes applications, data, email, Instant Messaging, Chat, Browser, P2P etc. The monitoring is done in real-time against a series of threat libraries which contain words and phrases that relate to those known threats. When a match is detected, an alert is created which allows a number of events to occur. These alerts can be configured so that they are escalated to various levels of management dependent upon the severity, number of alerts detected and the thresholds set. Features: • Display Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) summary upon login
• Monitoring can be imposed on a permanent or temporary basis
• Provides off-network monitoring
• Define different monitoring criteria for different users or groups
• Stealth or Active modes
• Remote administration capability
• Screen Capture of AUP violation by user, with time & date stamp
• Full reporting features
• Variable sensitivity levels for libraries: Libraries include racism, drugs, gambling, hacking, proxy avoidance, paedophile grooming, bullying, pornography, gaming, criminal activity.
