Using Browser Protection and Web Filtering
Block and warn sites by safety ratings
Block and warn sites by safety ratings
Web filtering adds policy options that allow you to use the browser protection safety ratings to
determine whether users can access a site or resources on a site, such as download files.
•
For each yellow, red, or unrated site, specify whether to allow, warn, or block the site.
•
For each yellow, red, or unrated download file, specify whether to allow, warn, or block the
download. This enables a greater level of granularity in protecting users against individual files that
might pose a threat on sites with an overall green rating.
•
For each phishing page, specify whether to block or allow access. This enables a greater level of
granularity in protecting users from pages that employ phishing techniques on a site with an overall
green rating.
When you block a site, users are redirected to a message explaining that the site is blocked. A policy
option allows you to customize the message that is displayed.
