To configure the URL filtering (URL guarding) you can build your own customized lists of URLs and/or subscribe to our URL blacklists service and benefit from the advantages of maintained and high quality lists of URLs classified by category.
Our Service
Our URL blacklists are available as a download subscription service for a period of one month or one year. This service is proposed as an option attached to a unique CacheGuard subscription plan. To purchase this service please go to Purchase CacheGuard.
Our URL blacklists service is perfectly suited to be used with a CacheGuard appliance. With this service, downloads and updates of URL blacklists become straightforward and you rather pay its integration with CacheGuard appliance rather than its content. Our URL blacklists can also be used to configure exception lists for the SSL inspection (SSL mediation) feature.
