Web Blocking
Web blocking in employee monitoring software refers to the ability to restrict access to specific websites or categories of online content to enhance productivity, security, and compliance. This feature allows administrators to create customized access policies, preventing employees from visiting non-work-related, malicious, or high-risk sites during work hours. Web blocking can be applied through URL filtering, keyword-based restrictions, or predefined blacklists, ensuring that only approved content is accessible. Some solutions offer real-time monitoring and automated enforcement, allowing organizations to adapt policies as needed. By reducing distractions, minimizing cybersecurity risks, and enforcing company policies, web blocking helps businesses maintain a focused and secure work environment while promoting responsible internet usage.
