Many businesses need to control their employees access to the
Internet either by actively by filtering usage to block access to
harmful or non work related sites or by passively monitoring
access. As a Webroot partner, we provide a web security solution as
a service with no additional hardware required to buy or manage.
This provides better protection against viruses, spyware, phishing
attacks and inappropriate online usage, this comprehensive solution
can replace or enhance a company's existing security
infrastructure. Because software as a service is highly flexible,
companies are able to scale services based on their unique needs,
thereby helping to manage company growth.
What about Mobile users?
Users out on the road with laptops are often excluded from
Internet access policy enforcement because it is cumbersome to
implement and operate. The Webroot Web Security SaaS also extends
seamless protection to mobile users, providing increased
productivity as well as better overall security.
As an integrated component of the service, Webroot Web Security
SaaS provides seamless enforcement of company Internet use policies
regardless of where an employee is working - whether it's at home,
the airport, a hotel or an Internet cafe. Mobile laptop users can
be easily configured to receive automatic and uninterrupted
protection even while they are outside their organisation's
network. Because the Webroot service sits in the cloud, these
laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than
establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network. This
roaming user protection helps to improve employee productivity,
enhance network security and reduce costs.
How much does it cost?
The service is priced per user, per month and is sold as either
a 1, 2 or 3 year contract. A discount of 10% is given when taking
out a 3 year contract.
We expect to be able to offer a monthly rolling contact in the
near future, so please contact us to register your interest.
In addition to the service itself, aFinite can provide
consultancy services to setup your policies, customise the warnings
displayed to your users as well as deploying the Desktop Web Proxy
software throughout your network and configuring your firewall to
block HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the Internet which isn't sent to
the Webroot servers.
How does it work?
You can either redirect all outbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic to
the Webroot servers using your firewall, or install a small piece
of software (around 1Mb) to your client PCs which connects them to
the Webroot servers for their outbound Internet traffic.

What are the steps?
- Contact us with details of how many users you want to
protect.
- We will then ask you how much help you need setting up the
service and talk to you about customising the policies and setting
up users for you, as well as assisting with the deployment of the
service.
- Typically we will setup a trial of the service to demonstrate
its monitoring capabilities. This will involve determining some
basic policies and then leaving the service to build up data on
which reports can be run. We offer a 2 week trial of the
complete system, at the end of which you will be able to decide if
you wish to take the service.
- When you decide to take the service, we work with you to plan
the deployment, providing as much support as you need. We can
support your own personnel, or carry the entire installation and
setup for you and anything in between.
- Once the service is deployed, we can help you configure the
policies and reporting to provide the information and protection
you need.
