Google security tool goes beyond the network
Browser monitoring extended to roaming users and off-site workers

Google has expanded its web-based security application which allows
administrators to set policies that limit user access to sites and monitor
browsing habits.
Google Web Security for Enterprises, which also provides malware protection,
is based on software acquired by Google when it purchased Postini last year for
$625m.
Previously, using Google Web Security for Enterprises outside a company
network had required users to manually log-in through a virtual private network.
The company has now expanded the tool to allow it to operate on computers
outside the network. This will allow administrators to enforce web browsing
policies on roaming users and employees working off-site.
"All off-network web traffic is automatically directed to a scanning
infrastructure to enforce policies and protect computers, requiring no action on
the part of individuals," said Google product marketing manager Tim Johnson.
"It is easy to deploy and users cannot tamper with it, ensuring that security
and appropriate usage policies are always in place."
