Internet Policy Enforcement

URL and Web Content Filtering

Easily enforce Internet use policies
Mitigate data loss
Protect users from inappropriate content
Improve productivity

Webroot filters web content based on site URL, web application, attachment type, MIME type, file type, and file size. Millions of URLs are categorised into 12 main categories and 96 subcategories. This database is continuously updated to ensure accurate and advanced control.

Internet Access Control

Set Internet access policies according to group or individual user level
Apply by time and location.
Administrators can set website access to be "Allowed," "Blocked," or "Coached"
Create customised URL "Allow" and "Deny" lists.
Anonymising proxy detection enforces policies even when anonymising proxy sites are used.
Web Advert Suppression

Internet Usage Control

Place limits on:

Bandwidth consumption
Time spent online
Number of sites accessed.
Monitor and track with logs and reports

Roaming User Protection

Seamlessly enforce company Internet use policies regardless of where an employee is working whether it's at home, on public transport, or an Internet café.

Mobile laptop users can be easily configured to receive automatic and uninterrupted protection even while they are outside their educational organisation's network. Because the web filtering sits in the cloud, these laptop users can authenticate directly with the service rather than establishing a VPN connection to the school network.
