iPrism is a web filtering and security solution that Qatar Airways uses to monitor and control the internet activity of its crew members. The software, developed by Edgewater Networks, allows the airline to restrict access to certain websites and content, as well as monitor and log all internet activity. The aim of this system is to ensure that crew members remain focused on their duties and responsibilities while on duty.
Qatar Airways has faced criticism from some crew members who feel that the iPrism system is overly restrictive and intrusive. However, the airline has defended the system as necessary to maintain safety and security standards. The company has also emphasized that crew members are free to use their personal devices to access the internet outside of work hours. Despite the controversy, iPrism remains in use by Qatar Airways.
