More than ever, organizations of every kind are connecting to the Internet to meet their business or educational goals. Providing Internet access, however, comes with a price. Businesses & schools take on substantial risks & costs associated with granting access, particularly when those connections are used to access sites containing inappropriate, illegal or dangerous content. Unrestricted Web access can also create tremendous losses in productivity resulting from excessive, non-productive Web surfing. With Sonic WALLs next-generation Content Filtering Service (CFS), your organization can control user access to inappropriate content while reducing organizational liability & increasing productivity. Sonic WALL CFS provides unequalled protection & productivity policy enforcement for businesses, schools, libraries & government agencies. A revolutionary solution, Sonic WALL CFS uses Cerberians comprehensive URL database to instantly sort questionable or inappropriate content into 12 categories. Policies applied to each category are used to enforce the desired level of access. Approval or denial can be made by category, individual or time of day. This flexibility allows organizations to easily maximize productivity while protecting users & the organization against objectionable content. Administered through a single intuitive interface, Sonic WALL CFS enables filtering & control to take place directly over a LAN, WLAN or VPN. The innovative rating & caching architecture & remarkable speed of CFS combined with the power & scalability of Sonic Wall appliances deliver an integrated, easy-to-use, manageable solution for organizations of any size. ...

Illegal or inappropriate web sites can easily be accessed by any network user with a browser. These same sites are often infected with malware that can be used to steal confidential information & drain employee productivity, as well as put your organization at risk for regulatory non-compliance, funding withdrawal & even criminal liability. An example of these regulatory requirements is that schools & libraries that receive E-Rate funding are required by law to install a content filtering solution that complies with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Sonic Wall Content Filtering Service (CFS) provides unequaled content filtering enforcement for businesses, educational institutions, libraries & government agencies, as well as distributed public Internet hotspots. Sonic Wall CFS blocks inappropriate content, reduces organizational liability & increases productivity for organizations of any size. Sonic Wall CFS utilizes a comprehensive database of millions of URLs, IP addresses & web sites. Using a high-performance rating & caching architecture, CFS dynamically updates ratings locally on a Sonic Wall firewall for instantaneous comparison. With CFS, administrators can apply access or denial policies based upon over 59 URL categories, individual or group identity, or time of day. Granular content filtering It allows the administrator to block or apply bandwidth management to all pre-defined categories or any combination of categories. Administrators can apply User Level Authentication (ULA) & Single Sign-On (SSO) to enforce username & password logon. CFS can block potentially harmful content such as Java, Active X, and Cookies, as well as schedule filtering by time of day, such as during school or business hours. CFS also enhances performance by filtering out IM, MP3s, streaming media, freeware & other files that drain bandwidth. Dynamically updated rating architecture Cross-references all requested web sites against a highly accurate database categorizing millions of URLs, IP addresses & domains. The Sonic Wall firewall receives ratings in real time, and then compares that rating to the local policy setting. The appliance will then either allow or deny the request, based on the administrator's locally configured policy. Easy-to-use web-based management It enables flexible policy configuration & complete control over Internet usage. Administrators can enforce multiple custom policies for individual users, groups or specific category types. Local URL filtering controls can allow or deny specific domains or hosts. To block objectionable material more effectively, administrators can also create or customize filtering databases. High-performance web caching & rating architecture It allows administrators to block sites easily & automatically by category. URL ratings are cached locally on the Sonic Wall firewall, so that response time for subsequent access of frequently visited sites is only a fraction of a second. IP-based HTTPS content filtering It allows administrators to control user access to web sites over encrypted HTTPS. HTTPS filtering is based on the categorical rating of inappropriate web site types, such as gambling, online banking, online brokerage & trading, shopping & hacking/proxy avoidance. Scalable, cost-effective solution It controls content filtering from the Sonic Wall firewall, eliminating the need for additional hardware or deployment expenditures on a separate dedicated filtering server. ...
