Blocking inappropriate web surfing is critical not only to ensuring the security of your organization, but also to ensuring that your employees are productive, but web surfing is only a part of how employees spend their time. InterGuard Web Filtering is designed to extend your visibility beyond a simple list of URLs and give you a true understanding of whether or not your employees are acting in a safe and productive manner. While other web filtering applications are simply designed to enforce acceptable use policies, InterGuard Web Filtering helps define the policies that it enforces by giving you total transparency into how your employees spend their time. With InterGuard, you wi’ll see everything from everywhere. No exceptions. Traditional solutions require you to set up and support the infrastructure necessary to run a network-based solution. InterGuard on the other hand does not require any hardware, sets up in minutes and allows you to provide your organization with a superior solution at a fraction of the total cost of ownership of a network-based solution - and without the IT headaches.   Sonar records and controls all employee computer activity, increasing staff productivity, decreasing exposure to litigation and meeting compliance requirements related to privacy laws and regulations.

The InterGuard Employee Monitoring Software application monitoring and blocking suite allows schedules to be set that control which software applications can be used and when. Time wasters such as Windows Media Player or iTunes can be blocked during work hours and allowed during off hours as desired. Dangerous applications, including FTP uploading or peer-to-peer programs like BitTorrent, can be permanently blocked. And of course, all activity is recorded and available to you in your online account. Recognizing that a lot of work now gets done on mobile devices, InterGuard now offers MobileMonitor so you can monitor Smartphone emails and text messages from the same client interface you are using to monitor desktops.

InterGuard is the best laptop protection software in the industry. It protects organizations from financial and operational impacts of laptop theft by making the contents on a lost or stolen laptop accessible to the laptop owner, but not to the thief. InterGuard allows you to identify, track, and control who accesses data on a stolen laptop, what data is accessed, and what can and cannot be done with that data. InterGuard's single agent can be installed either at the time of laptop purchase or anytime afterward. It deploys and operates invisibly. When a laptop is lost or stolen, the InterGuard agent can be activated instantaneously by the rightful owner using any web browser. The contents on the missing laptop can now be visualized and managed remotely in real time, on that web browser, without alerting the thief. This allows the owner to retrieve any and all files from the laptop, where they can be stored centrally or downloaded to another computer. Files, or the entire hard drive, can also be deleted. The data is deleted to the U.S. government’s 5220.22-M standard featuring multiple overwrites, random characters, and write verification. Laptop Cop sends back a confirmation that the files were deleted successfully. InterGuard also provides real-time geo-location based on wi-fi hotspot tracking, which gives a higher degree of accuracy than GPS in most urban and suburban locations.. This evidence assists law enforcement in the recovery of a lost or stolen laptop, and is a far superior recovery method to simply trying to track by a computer’s IP address, which is fraught with problems. Because the IP address’ physical location can only be known by the ISP, it can take weeks or months in some cases to locate an address by this method. By that time, the computer is often in a totally different location. Recent research shows the majority of lost or stolen laptops contain confidential company communications and information. Recent research has shown that laptop theft is now judged by CTOs to be the highest risk area for the loss of valuable company data. There are many partial solutions, including encryption and mapping data on laptops. None can restore lost data to its rightful owner. InterGuard can.   Monitor Cell Phone Messages & Know What's Leaving Your Organization with Mobile Monitor Logging into your secure online account is all it takes to see a full record of messages sent & received from your employees' smartphone.
