Kaspersky Small Office Security 5

Using Web Policy Management

Web Policy Management allows monitoring actions performed by users on the local computer and online. You can use Web Policy Management to restrict access to Internet resources and applications, as well as view reports on users' activities.

Internet users face multiple threats:

• Loss of time and / or money when visiting chat rooms, gaming resources, online stores, and auctions
• Access to websites featuring pornography, extremism, firearms, drug abuse, and explicit violence
• Downloading of files infected with malware
• Contacts with criminals that can obtain confidential information from employees by using fraud or otherwise

Web Policy Management allows you to reduce the risks posed by computer and Internet use. To this end, the following component functions are used:

• Limiting the time for computer and Internet use
• Creating lists of allowed and blocked applications, as well as temporarily restricting use of allowed applications
• Creating lists of allowed and blocked websites and selectively blocking categories of websites with inappropriate content
• Enabling safe search mode on search engines (links to websites with questionable content are not displayed in search results)
• Restricting file downloads from the Internet
• Creating lists of contacts that are allowed or blocked for communication via social networks
• Viewing the text of messaging via social networks
• Blocking transmission of certain data
• Searching for specified keywords in message logs

All these restrictions can be enabled independently from one another, which allows you to flexibly configure Web Policy Management for various users. For each account, you can view reports on events in the controlled categories that have been logged during the selected period.

Web Policy Management is unavailable if Kaspersky Small Office Security is installed on a file server.
