Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- For the fifth year in a row, the U.S. Department of Justice has chosen Wavecrest's Cyfin Reporter to monitor Web use for its 100,000 users. The Department of Justice first purchased Cyfin in 2002 through Wavecrest's GSA (General Services Administration) program and continues to use Cyfin because of its robust performance, accuracy, and scalability.

Recently, government agencies have been concerned with how their employees are surfing the Internet at work for personal use. According to Al Kamen's "At Interior, Surfin' USA" published in the Washington Post on October 4, 2006, the Department of Interior found that its employees' personal Internet use could be costing taxpayers "more than $2 million in lost wages" each year. Earl E. Devaney, the Interior Department's Inspector General, also found that in one week of logs, there were "over 4,732 entries to sexually explicit and gambling sites."

It is this type of abuse that is convincing many organizations to purchase Internet monitoring and/or filtering software to protect themselves from decreases in workforce productivity and legal liability risks. "It is the risk of legal liability that makes choosing accurate, reliable software important," says Dennis McCabe, Wavecrest's vice president for business development. "No one knows this better than the U.S. Department of Justice, which is why we are pleased that they continue to use Cyfin."

Cyfin Reporter provides employers with actionable, manager-ready reports by user, group, or entire enterprise. Cyfin's features include automatic abuse detection, a report scheduler that runs and distributes reports automatically, and standard and customizable categories that can be rated according to an organization's acceptable use policy.

Wavecrest is a GSA Federal Supply Schedule Contractor (#GS35F0212L). Federal and many state government agencies may purchase Wavecrest software through the GSA, guaranteeing the lowest available pricing and streamlining the procurement process.
