Advanced network traffic control features of the Symantec Gateway Security
300 Series appliance include antivirus policy enforcement (AVpe) and content
filtering.
AVpe lets you monitor client antivirus configurations and, if necessary, enforce
security policies to restrict network access to only those clients who are
protected by antivirus software with the virus definitions defined by the policy
master.
The appliance also supports basic content filtering for outbound traffic. You use
content filtering to restrict the URLs to which clients have access. For example,
to restrict your users from seeing gambling sites, you configure content filtering
to deny access to gambling URLs that you specify.
