We all know that employees check out highlights or even stream a whole game. According to Turner Sports\u2019 Will Funk\u2019s interview with AdWeek,Turner did 70 million live streams on broadband and mobile during March Madness 2014. That is a lot of streaming. With all the streaming and new apps that are out since last year, 2015 will likely set another record.<\/p>\n<p>This year, have the choice to allow your employees some freedom to watch and enjoy! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/products\/cyblock\/sa\/cyblock_security.php\">CyBlock Web Security Solutions<\/a> will help protect your business, blocking sites known for malware and proactively controlling bandwidth consumption, while allowing responsible viewing.<\/p>\n<p>With Wavecrest\u2019s Bandwidth Management in CyBlock, there are numerous ways to be able to control access when you need to. With Real-Time Data Usage Monitoring, you will be able to easily view current data usage for the entire enterprise, detect unexpected spikes that could indicate excessive data use, or just observe the last 5, 10, or 15 minutes of real-time updates.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make sure the critical business operations remain functioning efficiently, even during the games, by using the Bandwidth Throttling features. Be more restrictive as the noncritical usage gets higher by setting one of the automatically triggered, higher-usage policy thresholds to throttle more or even block. E-mail alerts will keep you informed wherever you are. Once a policy is activated, policy-specific traffic is throttled or blocked, allowing business-critical applications (VoIP, CRM, etc.) to continue operating as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about protecting your company from malware. March Madness search results have had a history of being known for malware in past years, and this year will likely be no different. As your employees search for brackets or results, CyBlock blocks traffic to the constantly growing number of sites that generate and\/or promote malware. Keep out viruses, Trojan horses, phishing attacks, and more.<\/p>\n<p>March Madness has become a way of life. Decide how your company will handle the traffic and proactively prepare for it by letting CyBlock help protect and secure your business and your employees.
