Unrestricted web access exposes networks to malware, productivity loss and regulatory risk—potentially triggering funding loss or legal liability (for example, CIPA requirements for schools and libraries). SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) delivers enterprise-grade protection by blocking illegal, inappropriate and harmful web content before it reaches users.
CFS is ideal for businesses, educational institutions, libraries, government agencies and public hotspots. It uses a continuously updated database of millions of URLs, IP addresses and domains plus a high-performance rating and local caching architecture so category checks happen instantly on the appliance. Administrators can enforce policies across more than 56 URL categories and apply rules by user, group or schedule (time-of-day), enabling granular control and consistent compliance.
The result: reduced security exposure, improved workforce productivity, and simplified regulatory reporting and enforcement—managed from the NSA 3650 for fast, reliable content filtering at the gateway.
