Using Browser Protection and Web Filtering Authorize and prohibit sites by URL or domain 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 (the functions that users can perform by accessing the content) or content risk groups (the risks that the content might present to your business). For example, select a functional group of Risk/Fraud/Crime and a risk group of Security to view all the categories of content that might pose a threat to user security due to fraud or criminal intent. Select a risk group of Productivity to display all the categories of content that might impact users' productivity adversely, such as shopping or gaming. These filters assist you in locating all the content categories for which you might want to configure actions. Blocking or warning site access based on content Use this task to block users from accessing sites that contain particular types of content. This feature is available only with versions of the browser protection service that include the web filtering module.
