In a business landscape where it’s vital to focus attention on core activity, Information Technology has to be an enabling business tool without soaking up employee hours.

Today 52% of companies report misuse of internet resources in the work environment with the two most common misuses being access to inappropriate websites and excessive web surfing. Spyware, viruses and other harmful malware is also propagated in increasing frequency via Internet browsing. The result for many organisations is that a necessary business tool has become a high cost and risk.

Webroot's service removes the headache around web access, allowing clients to get on with effectively running their business. By scanning all web requests before they are delivered back to the requesting user, Webroot ensures that there is low risk to the organisation without costly hardware or software needed to be installed on the client network.
