ISSUES FOR PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

Government agencies work with a wide range of people including employees, adults and minors visiting multimedia libraries, schools, libraries, and museums.

This diverse audience raises a series of issues for a government agency which controls access and content viewed by Internet users. Public authorities need to:

  • Ensure compliance with changing legislation
  • Manage various user groups and filter access according to each group's profile. Public authorities need to filter employees, students in libraries, and visitors in museums according to their age, position, and many other criteria.
  • Control user browsing in order not to saturate bandwidth. Internet usage for a government employee is different for a student. Thus it is important for government agencies to be able to define priorities for official traffic over personal traffic.
  • Authenticate, log, and filter users in public areas
  • Protect the information system from malware. Users are often the starting point for attacks, and information leaks in an administration can have serious consequences.
