Unfiltered web content can introduce malware, reduce productivity, and expose organizations to regulatory risks or legal liabilities. SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) protects businesses, schools, libraries, government agencies, and public hotspots by blocking inappropriate or harmful content, ensuring compliance, and improving productivity.
CFS uses a robust database of millions of URLs, IP addresses, and websites, combined with a high-performance rating and caching system. Ratings are dynamically updated locally on the SonicWall appliance for instant enforcement. Administrators can create policies based on over 56 URL categories, user or group identity, and time of day, providing precise and flexible web access control.
