URL Guarding

The URL guarding feature allows you to restrict the Web usage by filtering unwanted URLs in your organisation. This feature is based on blacklists (denied) or white lists (authorised) of domains and URLs. This way you can give access only to authorised Web sites enumerated in your white lists or deny contents enumerated in your blacklists.

Our Service

Our blacklists are available as a download subscription service for a period of one year. The pricing is based on the number of end users and is an independent subscription. The independent subscription is related to a unique public IP address and allows one download per day for each Blacklist category. Please contact the Sales Department for further information.
