Social networking applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are popular all over the world, but for employers, it is a problem when employees spend their time playing games such as Restaurant City and Farmville or they will be chatting with friends during work day. It will eat up business productivity.
ZLD v2.20 provides granular control over social networking applications and enables companies to better manage, secure and protect their Internet investment. It allows businesses to block certain websites by applying comprehensive rules:
For example, employees are forbidden using social networking sites during the work day, but able to use their time during lunch breaks to access Facebook. Or employees can free access Facebook but are block to access game on facebook.
More Security
With the new End Point Security feature (EPS), administrators can easily identify "bad" users, i.e. when no AV software has been installed. By forcing the installation of the anti-virus software, the ZyWALL mitigates the threat of virus outbreaks and consequently the loss of money and employee productivity.
Easy to Deploy
The new GUI (user interface) with a better "Look 'n' Feel" offers improved usability and multiple benefits. This includes a reorganized menu tree as well as easy possibilities for administrators to monitor the device status (virtual device). User-friendly table operations and improved troubleshooting options - which offer a GUI page for packet capture and multiple interface packet captures - help to ensure a significantly improved user experience.
