Need Reliable Web Filtering?

We’ve got the solution!


Block porn, gambling, videos, social networks, shopping sites and other inappropriate content or applications from entering your network. If users turn off safe search, you can have Web Filter turn it right back on, automatically. Just as Application Control manages access based on the application type, Web Filter manages access based on the type of content on the site.

There are more than 1 billion websites on the Internet, so how can you realistically evaluate each one to filter out offensive or inappropriate content? No worries, we do that for you! If you combine Web Filter and Policy Manager, you can enable more flexible access based upon user groups (e.g. teachers versus students) and during different times (lunch time or weekends).

For example, you might allow teachers to access social networks any time, but students can only access them during lunch break or after school. Setting up and managing filter rules is quick, easy and effective with Web Filter.

Simply check “block” for anything you want to stop, and Application Control will take care of the rest. If you need a higher degree of control, you can use the Integrated Rules Engine to create custom rules to target more complex traffic patterns. With Application Control, you are in total control of the applications on your network, giving you absolute peace of mind.
