Web Security Service - Internet Policy Enforcement
URL and Web Content Filtering
Easily enforce Internet use policies, mitigate data loss, protect users from inappropriate content, and improve productivity. The Email Laundry® filters Web content based on site URL, Web application, attachment type, MIME type, file type, and file size. Millions of URLs are grouped into categories and subcategories like games, entertainment, mature content, and more. This database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control. Content filtering also includes the ability to block advertisements.
Internet Access Control
Set Internet access policies according to group or individual user level, and apply by time and location. Administrators can also set Web site access to be “Allowed,” “Blocked,” or “Coached” in order to help inform users and manage Internet use. For even greater filtering control, Webroot provides the ability to create customised URL “Allow” and “Deny” lists. Anonymising proxy detection enforces company Internet use policies even when users attempt to access blocked pages through common or custom anonymising proxy sites.
Quota Policy Support
Support and enforce Internet use policies by placing limits on bandwidth consumption, time spent online, and number of sites accessed. To help monitor and track Internet use, logs and reports are available to track factors such as daily bandwidth consumed by user and time spent surfing.
Roaming User Protection
Seamlessly enforce company Internet use policies regardless of where an employee is working—whether it’s at home, the airport, a hotel, or an Internet café. Mobile laptop users can be easily configured to receive automatic and uninterrupted protection even while they are outside their organisation’s network. Because The Email Laundry® service sits in the cloud, these laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the corporate network. Included at no additional cost, this roaming user protection helps to improve employee productivity and enhance network security
