ABIX via COMTEX) -- Workplace monitoring in Australia is not adequate. Australian employers are still preoccupied with pornography and the legal liability resulting from sexual harassment, whereas US companies are dealing with more important issues. According to an Internet filtering company, SurfControl, Australia is 18 months behind the US in monitoring Internet use in the workplace. SurfControl's CEO, Steve Purdham, says that using the Internet for other purposes can be equally damaging to productivity and availability of bandwidth. Purdham has announced that SurfControl will expand into the Asia-Pacific region, starting with Japan and Singapore.
