GFI Software, a leading developer of network security, content security and messaging software, announced the release of the latest version of GFI WebMonitor for ISA Server, a solution that gives administrators comprehensive control over corporate web usage and what employees are downloading from the internet.

GFI WebMonitor 4 boosts employee productivity and increases security while maintaining optimum use of the internet as a business tool.

The company said internet is an important business-to-business (B2B) resource but uncontrolled and unmonitored access could lead to lower productivity when employees waste time browsing non-work related material. Research carried out by IDC shows that up to 40 per cent of employee internet activity is non-work related and this includes the downloading of music files, usage of social sites like Facebook or e-commerce sites like eBay and browsing the web for personal entertainment.

Access to the internet also increases the risk of viruses, spyware and unauthorised software being downloaded. Such activity can lead to malicious software active on companies' systems, leading to security breaches and data loss.

A practical method of mitigating these unwanted aspects of the corporate internet connection would be to deploy GFI

WebMonitor. This solution grants the administrator full control over internet resources to create a secure online experience, to proactively counter risks of vicarious liability and, in turn, to set higher efficiency levels.

GFI WebMonitor for ISA Server is available in three editions, offering administrators a specific or holistic web management solution.

These are: the WebFilter Edition; the WebSecurity Edition and the UnifiedProtection Edition, a suite that delivers a secure browsing experience through the use of multiple anti-virus engines, increases productivity through the WebGrade URL

Filter and drives implementation of user web policies through granular download control policies.

More information and a download of a free trial of the three editions of GFI WebMonitor are available at http://www.gfi.com
