WHAT IS SKY-FILTER?
Overview
SkyWire’s basic firewall functionality is a content filtering service, that filters content based on your business requirements. The service allows for a clean browsing experience, prevents access to harmful and malicious content and websites while still providing your employees access to good, appropriate, and pertinent information.
Wasted productive time is a big concern in any business, and this is one place where the Internet can potentially hurt as much as it helps. The Internet is where many of today’s business tools are accessed. How can you ensure that your team is spending their time working, rather than on social media or other distracting websites?
Streaming videos and downloading files from torrent sites, for instance, requires a lot of data. Your network has to slow down to accommodate these actions.
By filtering content, you can prevent employees from doing things that will burden your network and make it harder for other people to do their actual jobs.
You decide what you want allow on your network, SkyWire will enforce those rules on your behalf.

FAQ:
How easy to implement is web filtering for business?
DNS-based web filtering is very simple to operate. Deployment consists of redirecting the organization´s Domain Name Server (30 seconds) and logging into a web-based administrative portal (another 30 seconds). Thereafter system administrators can synchronize the filtering service with an existing directory in order to apply role-based filtering policies within minutes.
How does monitoring Internet access work?
Organizations can configure web filtering solutions to monitor which websites users visit and which websites they are refused access to. While some may consider the monitoring of Internet access at work a form of employee surveillance, the information collected from Internet monitoring reports can be used to fine-tune Internet filters to create a more welcoming environment for everyone.
How do I find out what websites the web filter solution has blocked access to?
SKY-FILTER Cloud´s monitoring logs are used to compile reports that reveal not only which websites were blocked, but the reasons why access was blocked (i.e. malicious website, contravened category policy, etc.). These reports help identify if your employees are exposing the organization to risk by attempting to visit unsafe websites, or whether they need to be reminded of acceptable Internet use policies.
What if I need to block Internet content for some people but not for others?
SKY-FILTER Cloud has granular controls that enables administrators to apply Internet policies by user, team, department, etc. as required. Therefore, your marketing team requires access to social media platforms, but you want to avoid giving everybody in your organization access to Facebook and Twitter, you simply whitelist the marketing team from the social media category.
