How are your employees using the internet?

With so much entertainment and information available on the Internet it is sometimes surprising that people find time to do any work.  Several surveys have found that the average is over an hour a day spent on content that is not work related.  Restricting access to unproductive sites and blocking access to dangerous ones puts a company back in control of their Internet access.  Manage social media sites like Facebook and blocking access.
