Employees involuntarily exposed to pornography or other unsavory content do seek compensation for sexual harassment, and if you think you’re already doing a good job protecting them and yourself, consider this: 600 pornographic sites come online each day, and 70% of their hits occur during the nine-to-five work day. For today’s employer, it’s a daunting problem nobody can afford to ignore. |
Of course, there are viruses, too: over 60,000, in fact. And as if that weren’t enough, the thieves and hackers writing tomorrow’s new viruses are spending today intercepting your company’s confidential information and selling that sensitive data to your competitors. These attacks within corporate networks bring downtime, lost productivity, and lost revenue, and make your peace-of-mind a thing of the past. | Finally, with 37% of workers saying they surf the web constantly at work, and with 30%-40% of all workplace Internet use unrelated to business, there is always the very likely chance that such “unrelated business” involves software, video or music piracy—a growing problem with severe legal ramifications for which you can be held directly responsible.
