7 Chapter Advanced network traffic control This chapter includes the following topics: ■ How antivirus policy enforcement (AVpe) works ■ Before you begin configuring AVpe ■ Configuring AVpe ■ Monitoring antivirus status ■ Verifying AVpe operation ■ About content filtering ■ Managing content filtering lists ■ Monitoring content filtering Advanced network traffic control features of the Symantec Gateway Security 300 Series appliance include antivirus policy enforcement (AVpe) and content filtering. AVpe lets you monitor client antivirus configurations and, if necessary, enforce security policies to restrict network access to only those clients who are protected by antivirus software with the virus definitions defined by the policy master. The appliance also supports basic content filtering for outbound traffic. You use content filtering to restrict the URLs to which clients have access. For example, to restrict your users from seeing gambling sites, you configure content filtering to deny access to gambling URLs that you specify.
