web filtering module, the Policies page in the SecurityCenter displays an expanded
set of policy options labeled Browser Protection & Web Filtering.
The additional policy options enable you to configure these features.
• Regulate user access to websites, based on their safety rating (for example, block
access to red sites and display a warning before opening yellow sites).
• Regulate user access to phishing pages.
• Regulate access to site resources, such as file downloads, based on their
safety rating.
• Regulate user access to websites based on their content (for example, block
access to shopping or gambling sites).
• Create a list of authorized and prohibited sites, based on their URL or domain.
• Customize the message that the browser protection service displays on
computers that attempt to access a blocked website.
• Enable and disable the browser protection service at the policy level.
• Specify whether the browser protection service can be disabled from a
client computer.
Enabling and disabling browser protection
