Solution Brief “We needed a solution to provide URL and website blocking together with a considered and practical approach that allows the use of the new media forms where it is not contrary to the interests of the firm. The Netbox Blue solution lets us do that". Steve Sumner Director of IT Taylor Vinters (UK) In recent years businesses have embraced internet technologies to communicate with their customers, suppliers and industry. Email has long been a mission critical business tool for organisations and newer communication mediums like instant messaging and video conferencing and various web 2.0 applications like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have become commonplace business communication tools. Along with this increasing use of online communication technologies there have been an increase in cyber-­‐threats and risks to businesses. Online conversations can be rapidly broadcast both inside and outside the organisation accelerating issues to a much broader audience in a shorted space of time than ever before. Teleworking and mobile data technologies have extended the work place beyond the work premises and consequently these threats continue beyond the traditional confines of the workplace as employees take laptops off site and to their homes. Netbox Blue enables organisations to apply rules and policies on common forms of web 2.0 communication, such as instant messaging, social networking, chat programs and webmail. Organisations now face increasingly complex challenges in ensuring that their brand reputation is not damaged and that they are providing a cyber-­‐safe environment for their employees. This is why organisations around the world are now turning to Netbox Blue to deliver easy to implement and manage solutions to solve these increasingly complex and worrying risks. A unique solution to solve a not so unique problem CyberSafeOffice™ utilises Netbox Blue’s patented SafeChat® pattern-­‐
matching technology to identify communications patterns that may breach the organisation’s acceptable use guidelines. The solution C

of messages flowing to and from an employee’s laptop or desktop computer regardless of where it is located.
