Websense Internet Content Filtering can save your organization from costly legal and liability issues by filtering objectionable web sites. The typical scenario for a web related law suit is that an employee is surfing a web site that is considered objectionable by another employee and they happen to see the images or content as they walk by. They then sue the organization for what they consider to be unacceptable in the work place. Many organizations will settle with this employee out of court so as not to suffer embarrasing press coverage. If you are using a Internet Content Filtering product like Websense to protect your organization and someone is able to get around it, most courts will recognize this as a “best effort” and will dismiss these types of cases.
