I Need to Block Facebook Access

Facebook and other social networking sites can be great for the people using them, but damaging to your business if you allow their use during working hours. Many companies still have no monitoring systems in place to moderate staff activity whilst at work and this is not just harmful to your business, but also to your employees. We provide a flexible monitoring solution which can restrict access to anyway website and behave in any way you desire.

Why would I want to block Facebook?

Facebook is currently the second most popular website in the world, second only to Google. The likelihood is that your staff not only have accounts, but are also probably accessing it during working hours. Some studies suggest that over £130 million is lost every day in the UK due to the use of Facebook and other social networking websites. How much of that is coming out of your company's profit?
