Well-designed network infrastructure is a huge boost when it comes to solving business tasks quickly and managing your business effectively.

According to a study performed for Microsoft by Ipsos, 34% of Russian companies and 30% of companies worldwide use technology to keep employees off social networks during business hours. While each company has its own reasoning, most employers are concerned that social networks eat into working time and reduce productivity.

When building a secure network, companies seek to achieve the following goals:

• Internet access control and employee activity monitoring


• Increased business productivity


• Reliable network security

Surfing social networks is one of the most dangerous Internet activities. Loss of intellectual property and data leaks, damage to a company’s image and virus attacks are much more common at companies that allow their employees to freely surf social networks from their work computers.

• Saves the company’s money

If your ISP billing plan involves a pre-defined limit, then you know that exceeding that limit costs you money. You can think the same way about the wages you pay employees while they sit at work surfing the web.
