Web Content Filtering - Overview

Filtering web content is now a much more sophisticated science than simply blocking pornography and other inappropriate material. A fully featured filter enables administrators to enforce the AUP and avoid legal or security risks. Web content filtering is also proven to significantly improve productivity and protect networks from dangerous web-borne threats.



Why Guardian?

  • Available as an independent software appliance or as part of a UTM solution, Guardian is simple to install and easy to use.

  • Our pioneering Dynamic Content Analysis™ technology intelligently and accurately identifies all objectionable content, including anonymous proxies and other hidden or malicious material.

  • Integration with Microsoft Active Directory® and a wide range of other authentication systems enables true policy-based filtering so different rules and access levels can be set for different users, at different times of the day.

  • Advanced reports provide an exceptionally detailed level of visibility and web use can even be monitored in real time using AJAX traffic analysis.



Why SmoothWall?

  • Affordability
    Licensing is extremely competitive with a much lower total cost of ownership than competing products.
