Block known malicious websites
Web Security
Web security helps stop users from reaching known malicious sites, downloading unsafe content, or exposing the organisation through uncontrolled browsing. Cloud-delivered filtering can apply consistent protection in the office, at home, and on the move, while giving IT practical visibility of categories, policy exceptions, and recurring risks.

Web filtering questions
The right policy should protect the organisation while allowing people to work without unnecessary obstacles.
Does it work away from the office?
Cloud-based controls can protect approved roaming users as well as traffic from the main site.
Can policies vary by role?
Yes. Controls can be set by user, group, device, or category so higher-risk access receives appropriate scrutiny.
How is the policy kept practical?
Review reporting, exceptions, and business requirements regularly rather than treating the initial policy as fixed.
