Re: Quick Survey - Does everyone do SOME form of "web filtering"??

[Daniel Bennett <dbennett () PCT EDU>]

We currently block P2P everywhere, run a web security appliance to block malicious websites, malware, and website with 
bad reputations, and run an IPS.  We do not block content except real-time if it fails the inspection of our web 
security appliance.

Hi,

We block P2P on the campus proper, but not in the residence halls.  We have an IPS, but don't do any active blocking 
based on content.

Hi Folks.....



Our Board decided about 3 years ago to require "web filtering" here.  The concern related to "academic freedom" are 
mitigated through a simple request process.  If a faculty member or student finds that an instructionally legitimate 
website is being blocked - all they have to do is submit a request to have the website passed through the web filter 
and they are in business.



My question:  Does everyone do some sort of web filtering?  If you *do* filter your web access - how long have you done 
so?  And do you have a "bypass" process?



Thanks,



Michael
