Introduction to Web Category Filtering

Introduction to Web Category Filtering (Applicable to Nusoft MS / UTM / MHG / IDR series)
Web Category Filtering provided by the Nusoft MS/UTM/MHG/IDR series implements CYREN’s GlobalView™ URL Filtering, which categorizes websites into 8 categories namely Anti-Social and Illegal, Pornographic and Abusive, Gaming and Gambling, Society and Commerce, Communication and Technology, Leisure, Information and Education and Other. Its cloud-based approach not only facilitates the database development but also offers end users with instant security. The feature requires no manual intervention to blacklist websites one after another but merely a few clicks on the desired categories based on the network policy. In addition, comprehensive and detailed reports for employee auditing and network management are made available to company supervisors.
