Monitoring and controlling the type and size of files is an important part of Acceptable Usage policy.

What Are The Issues?

Web traffic isn't just web pages. Program files, archive files, image files, video...all these types of content are uploaded and downloaded daily.

Not only can large files consume your bandwidth resource, but the content of those files could be a problem. It could be against your company harassment policies, it could even be illegal, and it could be your intellectual property going out the door without your knowledge.

How Can WebMarshal Help?

WebMarshal allows you to control file access by both the type of file (over 175 supported file types) and the size of file (to block excessively large files). WebMarshal can also block attempted file uploads.

You can limit rights for uploading specific file types such as CAD files or Excel spreadsheets to authorized users, thus protecting your intellectual property or confidential data.

You can reduce your organization’s legal liability exposure by preventing users swapping copyright files such as music and video.
