Interacting With IT

Content Filtering & Security

The internet has been the greatest ever communication advancement, tearing down national barriers and making information available 24/7: everything is just a click away.

However, there is a downside to this. You are just a click away from trouble. It is now so easy to access gambling, pornography, and other websites containng illegal material; indeed there is a whole range of sites waiting to tempt us. While the usual protection systems help restrict access, they all have the same flaw. You have to install the software and You know the password to override it - fine if you are protecting your children, but what about yourself?

We will install software ("Content Watch", a world leading internet filtering suite) onto your machine(s) and run this for you. This will take the hassle out of installing and maintaining it, yet will give you all the protection you will need.

If you consider the block to be incorrect, this can be overriden after investigation by us.
