Netgear unveiled a new security solution at the 2012 RSA Conference on Tuesday morning, designed to reduce lost workplace productivity time by monitoring and managing inappropriate, non-business related Internet and social media activity among employees.
Certainly, many of us would agree that plenty of people in the workplace (regardless of where they fall on the ladder) spend and waste too much time on social media and networking sites when they could be doing something else.
Netgear argues that small businesses, in particular, face bigger challenges in this arena -- not so much because of lost productivity but rather from security threats, putting both company employees and assets at risk.
Enter Netgear's ProSecure line of products, a series of SMB solutions designed to manage social media and provide more robust network protection.
The all-in-one gateway platform combine enterprise-strength security solutions from Commtouch, Mailshell, and Sophos with stream scanning technology. This offers Netgear's platform to use their virus and malware threat databases at a speed boasted to be five times faster than "conventional methods."
