INTERNET ACCESS FACTS
Surfing the Internet has become a favorite pastime
of people of all ages. The Internet can also be a source of
real time information, news and entertainment.
Most businesses are generally resigned to the
fact that employees are sometimes using company resources
during business hours for personal use. Social networking
sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are regularly accessed
during work hours. There is a huge risk of misuse, abuse and
productivity loss with these sites.
The Internet can expose people including minors
to gambling, drug abuse, pornography, hate literature and
violence. Statistics from various respected sources indicate
a critical need for Internet Management and Control measures.
Browsing Statistics
International Data Corporation estimated that
30% to 40% of employee Internet use isn't work related. Nielsen/NetRatings
reported 92% of online stock trading occurs from the workplace
during work hours and 46% of online holiday shopping takes
place at work. Another shocking statistic from SexTracker
states that 70% of all Web traffic to Internet pornography
sites occurs between 9 am and 5 pm.
In the United States, real cost loss estimates
range from 1.75 billion to well over 2.5 billion a year. Communication
managers must have a handle on Internet usage practices in
order to gage bandwidth needs, monitor and control browsing
activity and secure their business intelligence. Educational
institutions, government agencies and general business can
derive huge benefits from measuring and policing Internet
usage.
- 30% to 40% of employee Internet use isn’t work related.
- Malicious computer use and Internet misconduct costs
businesses billions every year.
- Over 60% of businesses have no internal security policy
regarding the use of the Internet.
- Anti virus software and firewalls will not protect
computer systems from malicious users and employees.
- Internet access is enemy number one for software piracy.
- A quarter of companies have dismissed employees for
Internet misconduct.
- Adopting new security software can only change the
future.
Overall there is a distinct lack of awareness of the importance
of computer security. If your computer systems have only the
usual virus protection and/or a firewall then your systems
are at risk from internal abuse and misuse.

THE MOST
IMPORTANT INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE IN PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS'
Think about what security measures you are taking to protect
your organization from malicious users and employees at the
workstation level!
