Check Point URL Filtering

Phishing Protection

The Phishing Protection feature proactively identifies and blocks websites known for phishing attacks. Leveraging continuously updated threat intelligence, the solution analyzes URLs in real-time, preventing users from inadvertently accessing malicious websites designed to steal sensitive data such as login credentials or personal information. This directly mitigates the risk of data breaches and significantly reduces the likelihood of successful phishing attempts across your organization.

Malware Protection

The Malware Protection feature scans and evaluates web traffic in real-time, identifying malicious content and blocking harmful downloads before they reach end-user devices. Through advanced detection techniques and regularly updated threat databases, this functionality protects your organization's endpoints and network infrastructure from infections by viruses, ransomware, spyware, and other forms of malware—effectively safeguarding your business-critical systems and data.

Access Control

Access Control enables administrators to precisely define and enforce user permissions for web resource access based on roles, departments, or specific user groups. This granular control reduces unnecessary web traffic, minimizes security risks by restricting access to unauthorized or inappropriate sites, and ensures compliance with internal policies and external regulatory requirements.

Application Control

Application Control identifies, classifies, and regulates application-level traffic across your network environment. Administrators can set policies that explicitly allow, restrict, or block specific applications based on organizational needs, security concerns, or productivity objectives. This effectively addresses issues such as bandwidth consumption by non-essential applications and reduces organizational exposure to potential application-based vulnerabilities.

Data Loss Protection

Data Loss Protection (DLP) actively monitors outgoing web traffic to identify sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or proprietary business data being transmitted externally. If sensitive data is detected leaving the organization through unauthorized channels, DLP immediately blocks or quarantines the transmission according to defined policies. This feature significantly reduces accidental or intentional leakage of confidential information, ensuring compliance with regulations and safeguarding critical corporate assets.

Web Gateway

The Web Gateway feature serves as a secure point of access for all internet-bound traffic flowing in and out of your organization. It provides centralized filtering capabilities that inspect web requests against predefined policies, ensuring that users only access approved online resources while simultaneously preventing access to malicious or inappropriate content. This centralized approach simplifies management tasks while maintaining robust security standards.

Policy Enforcement

Policy Enforcement ensures that all web usage consistently adheres to your organization's established security protocols. Administrators can create detailed rules defining acceptable use guidelines at various levels (user, group, or departmental), which are automatically enforced by the solution in real-time. This helps maintain compliance with internal governance standards as well as external regulatory frameworks.

Logging & Reporting

Logging & Reporting provides comprehensive visibility into internet usage across the entire organization through detailed logs and customized reports. Administrators can quickly analyze trends in web activity, monitor user behavior for compliance purposes, identify potential risks or policy violations early on, and demonstrate regulatory compliance through documented evidence. This actionable insight allows for proactive adjustments to security policies and practices.

URL Filtering

URL Filtering categorizes millions of websites based on their content type or potential security risk level. Administrators can quickly apply access rules by selecting categories (such as gambling sites or social media) that align with organizational policy requirements—blocking inappropriate content while allowing legitimate business-related resources. This helps organizations maintain productivity standards while protecting against potential threats.

TLS/SSL Page

The TLS/SSL Page feature inspects encrypted HTTPS traffic by decrypting secure connections temporarily for analysis against policy-defined criteria before re-encrypting them securely again for delivery to end-users. This enables thorough inspection of encrypted communications without compromising user privacy or overall connection security—addressing the challenge posed by encrypted threats hiding within secure connections.

SSL Monitoring

SSL Monitoring continuously tracks encrypted web traffic across your network environment to detect unusual patterns indicative of potential threats hidden within SSL/TLS connections. By identifying anomalies in encrypted traffic streams early on, administrators can rapidly respond to potential risks that would otherwise remain concealed within standard secure communications—effectively preventing threats that traditional monitoring methods might miss.

Bandwidth Monitoring

Bandwidth Monitoring provides clear visibility into how internet bandwidth is being consumed across your organization by tracking user activity patterns and application usage in real-time. With this insight
