SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Small businesses now have the same power as large corporations to protect themselves against the risks of lawsuits and network-damaging viruses associated with improper employee Internet use thanks to the iBoss Pro80 Business by Phantom Technologies. Incorporating the same revolutionary filtering technology as the iBoss Pro, the iBoss Pro80 is the only hardware of its kind to add built-in Wi-Fi capabilities to monitor and control all employee Internet activity, even when they access their company's network wirelessly.
Replacing the need for costly -- and often system-conflicting -- software, the iBoss Pro80 provides a simple and affordable solution to Internet security in a single piece of equipment that is powerful enough to filter the entire network of a small business or franchise. Without this kind of high-level protection against employee online activity, businesses are vulnerable to expensive lawsuits and damage to networks caused by viruses and spyware.
Given that the transfer or display of sexually explicit content on office computers can create a hostile work environment for which companies can be held liable, and that 27% of Fortune 500 companies have faced accusations of sexual harassment caused by employee Internet use, online content filtering has become as essential as basic virus protection. The proven filtering control of the iBoss Pro80 is the only sure way to limit personal Internet use in the workplace, thereby increasing productivity.
"We found there was a void in products that managed employee Internet use for the true small business in America. While our competitors were focusing on solutions for the home or large businesses, our focus was on the small businesses that make up the backbone of this country," says Peter A. Martini, COO and Co-Founder of Phantom Technologies, LLC. "By incorporating Wi-Fi functionality into a single filtering device with the iBoss Pro80, businesses now have the flexibility, and peace of mind, to allow employees to connect to their networks wirelessly."
