In today’s business environment, organizations rely on the Internet for access to information 
and resources. While instant access to information over the Internet is critical, it introduces 
incredible risk to networks and data. Every day, new external threats such as viruses, 
worms, Trojans, phishing attacks and spyware programs cause serious financial damage 
to companies through compromised computing systems, lost productivity and the theft 
of passwords and other confidential information. Internal threats arise through employee 
use of Web sites that contain objectionable or even illegal content can leave organizations 
vulnerable to legal liabilities and unwanted security risks. Additionally, the use of instant 
messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications compete for employees’ time and can 
result in tremendous losses in productivity.
