instances of protest, an increasing number of organizations and companies are using the technology, according to one vendor that sells software for what it calls "Web site management." San Diego, California-based WebSense Inc. - which supplies the Web management software that tracks and monitors Web use at the three Federal Circuit Courts that staged a protest in May - says the technology is less invasive than critics make it out to be. It helps protect employees from pornography on the Internet, and protect employers from an employee's ability to waste time surfing the Web, WebSense says.
"Just about every company in corporate America has a policy in place that says what you can and can't do in the workplace on the Internet," said Darryl Gordon, director of marketing at WebSense. "It's one thing to have a policy in place; it's another thing to actually manage the policy."
