The SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) safeguards networks from illegal, inappropriate, and harmful web content that can enter through any user’s browser. Unfiltered content risks malware infections, reduced productivity, and regulatory non-compliance, including CIPA requirements for schools and libraries receiving eRate funding.
CFS delivers robust content filtering for businesses, educational institutions, libraries, government agencies, and public hotspots. It blocks inappropriate content, reduces organizational liability, and enhances productivity.
Using a comprehensive database of millions of URLs, IP addresses, and websites, CFS employs high-performance rating and caching architecture to dynamically update ratings on the NSA 5600 appliance. Administrators can enforce access or denial policies based on over 56 URL categories, user or group identity, or time of day.
