Designing of Web Filtering Policies

At present, the internet plays an integral part in business and education. However, without setting appropriate controls in place, universities are likely to be faced with a broad range of issues. One of which is a misuse of the internet by students if they try access to inappropriate web content during exams. The objectives of this research are to design the web filtering policies, use a tool having the capability of denying access to the content of all websites except the exam site, and to compare and validate the Smoothwall Express over Monowall. The research assisted in assuring the quality in respect of final achievement for the students.
