NHS Chooses Optenet For Content Security

NHS organisations in south west Yorkshire have invested in a web gateway security appliance from Optenet to protect the 11,000-plus users on their books and ease the management of web security for IT support administrators.
The Health Informatics Service (THIS) previously had no dedicated web filtering solution, which meant that IT support administrators had to work retrospectively to find evidence of any non-compliant web usage, often spending several hours each week manually reviewing web usage.
The centrally managed appliance-based solution also gives THIS the ability to load additional modules for solutions like anti-spam, anti-virus and firewall protection in the future.
