The ProtectPoint™ fully managed web security service creates a safe working environment, preventing pornographic, offensive, hostile materials from being inadvertently distributed through your network. Additionally, our service prevents employees from downloading, installing, and potentially redistributing illegal or unauthorized software and allows managers to investigate and assess any questionable user activity.

The ProtectPoint web security service ensures your network is used for business productivity, not as a recreational diversion. It is completely flexible, allowing you to tailor your web content filtering to your exact needs. It can be as draconian or as unobtrusive as you require.
