Unfiltered web content can expose networks to malware, reduce productivity, and create regulatory or legal risks, particularly for institutions required to comply with laws such as CIPA. SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) delivers robust protection, blocking illegal, inappropriate, and harmful web content while enhancing productivity and reducing liability.
CFS leverages a comprehensive database of millions of URLs, IP addresses, and websites, dynamically updating ratings on SonicWall appliances for real-time enforcement. Administrators can define access policies based on over 56 URL categories, user or group identity, and time of day. This ensures secure, controlled, and compliant internet usage across businesses, educational institutions, libraries, government agencies, and public hotspots, while simplifying management and strengthening overall network security.
