Web Content Filtering (Avert™)

Simple and effective web security for small business

Andy Fram, Support Engineer

AVERT is our web content filtering and Internet security solution. It is delivered as a service, which means there is no hardware or software to purchase or maintain. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model gives you complete flexibility, since the solution can easily scale to the size of your growing organization.

There are several important reasons to monitor and/or filter your organization’s web traffic. In our experience, the most popular reasons are:

1. Stop unproductive, frivolous Internet use
2. Enforce employee Internet use policies
3. Stop or lessen the occurrences of spyware and malware
4. Mitigate risks of network security breaches

Benefits of AVERT:

• Ensure a productive and appropriate Internet environment
  AVERT web filtering allows you to maintain a productive work environment by selectively blocking access to particular websites or by allowing only certain predefined websites to be accessed.
• Protect your network and data from the latest spyware and malware threats
  Small businesses are particularly susceptible to malware and botnet threats. AVERT provides your organization with a perimeter defense system that foils malware and botnet attacks without impacting performance and without the overhead of server software or on-premises appliances.
• Simple and quick deployment and management
  Small companies shouldn’t have to manage complex software or appliance-based security solutions. AVERT is a cloud-based service that we can deploy in minutes without any change to your IT infrastructure. We can also completely customize the service based on your needs, simply and easily.
• Low cost of ownership
  Service updates are made in the cloud, eliminating the need to upgrade software or hardware.
