Content Filtering

URL filtering is an essential security measure that helps organizations block access based on business needs and threat reputation. SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) meets these requirements by providing expanded web categories and reputation-based filtering that assigns risk scores to URLs.

With an active subscription to the Essential or Advanced Protection Service Suite, you can create custom CFS policies and apply them to network zones or user groups, including those authenticated through SAML. This approach gives organizations—such as schools, businesses, libraries, and government agencies—granular control over web access to maintain compliance and security.
