Access Control And Content Filtering - Secure Computing SG300 User Manual

Access Control and Content Filtering

The access control web proxy allows you to control access to the Internet based on the
type of web content being accessed (Content or Webwasher), and which user or
workstation is accessing the Internet content (Require user authentication, IP Lists).
This is useful to minimize inappropriate Internet use.
Additionally, you can set up global block/allow lists for web sites that you always want to
be accessible/inaccessible (Web Lists), or force users to have a personal firewall
installed (ZoneAlarm) or ensure they are not running network services that may be
exploited (Policy) before accessing the Internet.

1. Web Lists allow
2. Web Lists deny
3. Security Policy enforcement
4. ACL allow
