Content Filtering
Content Filtering is a core feature of Secure Web Gateways (SWG) that enables organizations to control and restrict access to specific web content based on predefined policies. It helps prevent users from accessing malicious, inappropriate, or non-business-related websites, thereby reducing security risks and enhancing productivity. Content filtering operates by analyzing website categories, keywords, URLs, and file types in real time, blocking or allowing content as per organizational guidelines. This feature also supports compliance with regulatory requirements by ensuring safe internet usage. It plays a vital role in protecting networks from web-based threats like malware, phishing, and harmful content while maintaining a secure browsing environment.
