Monitoring/Filtering Internet Usage

by matthew moran . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

I have been asked to write an article on how and why companies monitor and filter Internet Usage for employees. While I have my list of reasons and tools, I would love independent input on what you use and the business objectives. The article is for a non-technical, management directed publication.

Specifically:
What software or service have you found effective?

What are you monitoring and why?

Have you quantified its effectiveness? (the monitoring)

Have you had or heard of any nightmare stories?

What, if anything is lacking in this area?

Do you notify the users of the monitoring?

Any other info you would like to share is perfectly fine.

Thanks,
Matthew Moran
