activities.

Identifying Risk Areas:
Websense Reporting Tools help your organization address
such questions as:

spyware?
- How much network bandwidth is being consumed by
users swapping files over peer-to-peer file sharing
networks?

too much of their work time at non-work related sites
and could any of these sites expose the organization to
legal liability?
