How web content filtering works

The Web Filtering for Endpoint extension provides extra filtering ability. When installed, a

Content Actions policy becomes available. When this policy is applied to client systems, content

classification ratings for a site are returned in addition to SiteAdvisor's usual security ratings,

and the settings in the Content Actions policy to block, warn, or allow the site based on content

type are applied on client systems.

The approximately 100 site content categories are grouped by function and risk, which allows

for easy application of the policy settings based on content alone or on content functional groups

or risk groups.

Policy additions with web content filtering

When you install the Web Filtering for Endpoint extension, you add the following policy options:

•

Content Actions policy with all content filtering options

•
