SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) protects networks from illegal, inappropriate, and harmful web content that can compromise security, reduce productivity, or result in regulatory non-compliance. Ideal for businesses, schools, libraries, government agencies, and public hotspots, CFS blocks unsafe content while enhancing efficiency and reducing organizational liability.
Using a comprehensive database of millions of URLs, IP addresses, and websites, CFS employs a high-performance rating and caching architecture to dynamically update content ratings on the SonicWall appliance. Administrators can enforce granular policies based on over 56 URL categories, user or group identity, or time of day, ensuring flexible, effective control over web access while maintaining compliance with regulations such as the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
