URL Blacklists

The URL Filtering (or Guarding) mode on a CacheGuard Gateway allows you to prevent accesses to undesirable websites such as porn websites. To offer that service, you need to have lists of URLs and domain names classified by category to be able to block (or allow) accesses to them. To do so, you have the possibility to subscribe to our URL Blacklists service and benefit from maintained and high quality lists of URLs and domain names classified by category.

Our URL Blacklists service is perfectly suited to be used with CacheGuard products. With this service, downloads and updates of URL Blacklists become straightforward. Our blacklists are available as a download subscription service. This service is proposed as an option attached to a unique CacheGuard subscription plan. Please find out more information on how to purchase a subscription plan at Purchase CacheGuard.

Extended Antivirus Signatures

When you subscribe to our URL Blacklists service, you get also access to additional virus signatures for an even better protection. Additional signatures include latest Crypto Lockers and many others not included in the standard package. The integration of additional antivirus signatures is automatic as soon as the antivirus is enabled on your CacheGuard product.
