Benefits of using SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus

As SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus runs on each managed system, it notifies users about threats

they might encounter when searching or browsing websites by displaying the following:

Safety rating for each site

•

When searching, safety ratings of green, yellow, red, and gray icons appear next to each

site listed on a search results page.

•

When browsing, the SiteAdvisor menu button appears in the browser window in the color

that matches the safety rating for the current site.

Safety report for each site

•

The report includes a detailed description of test results and feedback submitted by users

and site owners.

•

Users access safety reports to learn more about how the safety rating for a site was

calculated.

Using the ePO Policy Catalog, administrators can create SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus policies that

determine which sites managed systems can access. They can assign actions to sites based on

their SiteAdvisor rating (for example, block red sites and warn users trying to access yellow

sites). They can create lists of authorized and prohibited sites based on URLs and domains.

Administrators can also customize the messaging that SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus displays to

managed systems, and prevent users from disabling the client software on managed systems.
