SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) provides robust protection against illegal, inappropriate, and harmful web content that may enter your network through any user’s browser. Unfiltered content can compromise security, reduce productivity, and expose organizations to regulatory violations, funding loss, or legal liability, such as compliance requirements under the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) for schools and libraries.
CFS delivers industry-leading web content filtering for businesses, educational institutions, libraries, government agencies, and public Wi-Fi networks. It blocks unsafe content, enhances productivity, and reduces organizational risk.
Powered by a comprehensive database of millions of URLs, IP addresses, and websites, CFS uses a high-performance rating and caching system that dynamically updates locally on the firewall for instant comparison. Administrators can enforce policies based on over 56 URL categories, user or group identity, or time-of-day access rules, ensuring precise and flexible content management across the network.
