Although all but the smallest businesses should really have an Acceptable Internet Usage policy so everyone understands the rules, it is sometimes necessary to enforce your policies. Internet filtering, has the added advantage of protecting both your network and business systems from potentially malicous code, spyware and other unwanted software that can unwittingly be downloaded from some websites. Not only this but with enforcement, your staff will also get to know when and what is acceptable just in case they get carried away, which with so much rich content on the Internet can sometimes be all too easy.
