ISP Pacific Internet is offering its business and government customers a content and site filtering service to block undesirable sites and materials.

"We're aware of the vulnerability many businesses face with staff increasingly accessing the web for social networking sites such as Facebook and My Space," said Dennis Muscat, senior vice president of South Asia, Pacific Internet. "This is a threat to organisations both from a security and a productivity perspective."

The CleanWeb service is provided in association with MailGuard, which already provides Pacific Internet with a mail filtering service.

If a client opts for CleanWeb, all of its web traffic passes through MailGuard filtering servers located at Pacific Internet data centres.

An administration console allows clients to control access by user, file type, key words, and specific sites. Policies can be set for specific users and groups, or to the entire organisation.

"Because PacNet CleanWeb stops access to inappropriate sites by category (pornography, gambling) and can control recreational downloads (movies, MP3s), the amount of bandwidth downloaded is substantially reduced and excess data bills can be audited, this translates to real financial savings," said MailGuard director Andrew Johnson.
