Produktbeskrivning

SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) is a powerful protection and productivity solution that delivers ideal content filtering enforcement for educational institutions, businesses, libraries, and government agencies. Using SonicWall CFS, organizations have control over the websites employees can access using their IT-issued computer behind the firewall. SonicWall CFS compares requested websites against a massive database in the cloud containing millions of rated URLs, IP addresses, and websites. CFS provides administrators with the tools to create and apply policies that allow or deny access to sites based on individual or group identity, or by time of day, for numerous pre-defined categories. CFS also dynamically caches website ratings locally on the SonicWall firewall for near-instantaneous response times.

 

Egenskaper

Granular content filtering
Allows the administrator to block or apply bandwidth management to all pre-defined categories or any combination of categories. Administrators can apply User Level Authentication (ULA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) to enforce username and password log-on. CFS can block potentially harmful content such as Java, ActiveX, and Cookies, as well as schedule filtering by time of day, such as during business hours. CFS also enhances performance by filtering out IM, MP3s, streaming media, freeware, and other files that drain bandwidth.

Dynamically updated rating architecture
Cross-references all requested websites against a highly accurate database categorizing millions of URLs, IP addresses, and domains. The SonicWall firewall receives ratings in real time, and then compares each rating to the local policy setting. The appliance will then either allow or deny the request based on the administrator's locally configured policy.

Easy-to-use, web-based management
Enables flexible policy configuration and complete control over Internet usage. Administrators can enforce multiple custom policies for individual users, groups, or specific category types. Local URL filtering controls can allow or deny specific domains or hosts. To block objectionable and unproductive material more effectively, administrators can also create or customize filtering lists.

High-performance web caching and rating architecture
Allow administrators to block sites easily and automatically by category. URL ratings are cached locally on the SonicWall firewall, so that response time for subsequent access of frequently visited sites is only a fraction of a second.

IP-based HTTPS content filtering
Lets administrators control user access to websites over encrypted HTTPS. HTTPS filtering is based on the categorical rating of websites containing information or images that are objectionable or unproductive, such as violence, hate, online banking, shopping, and others.

Scalable, cost-effective solution
Control content filtering from the SonicWall firewall, eliminating the need for additional hardware or deployment expenditures on a separate dedicated filtering server.
