I’m the IT manager of a mid-sized company. We have a policy about what employees are not allowed to view on the web, and we have a web filtering appliance in place to keep people from going to inappropriate web sites.
The problem is that the CEO thinks it is fun to try to “beat” the web filtering software. He spends his free time trying to go to porn sites. Sometimes he gets through, at which point he downloads images and movies and viruses.
My staff has caught him in the act of accessing porn sites, has had to deal with the viruses that he gets from surfing porn sites, etc. My boss, the CIO, has spoken to the CEO about this a couple of times, explaining to him the real dangers to the company of his behavior. He always promises to stop, but never does.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this situation?
