5 Implementing Your Web Content Security Policy

WebMarshal provides a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to enforce your organization’s Acceptable Use Policy for Web access.

A Web usage policy typically has several goals. As part of the process of implementing WebMarshal, you should develop and formalize your own policy, and make it known to users.

Common goals of a Web usage policy include:

•   To maintain appropriate usage (subject matter of browsing and language of uploads).

•   To protect the organization’s systems against virus infection.

•   To ensure the efficient use of network resources (bandwidth and file storage).

•   To allow reporting on Web usage and policy breaches.

WebMarshal includes facilities to perform these tasks. This chapter gives an overview of typical policies and policy-related tasks, and the WebMarshal elements available “out of the box” that you can use to accomplish each task.
