SonicWALL Content Filtering Service
SonicWALL Content Filtering Service (CFS) enforces protection and productivity policies for businesses,
schools and libraries to reduce legal and privacy risks while minimizing administration overhead.
SonicWALL CFS utilizes a dynamic database of millions of URLs, IP addresses and domains to block
objectionable, inappropriate or unproductive Web content. At the core of SonicWALL CFS is an innovative
rating architecture that cross references all Web sites against the database at worldwide SonicWALL co-
location facilities. A rating is returned to the SonicWALL and then compared to the content filtering policy
established by the administrator. Almost instantaneously, the Web site request is either allowed through
or a Web page is generated by the SonicWALL informing the user that the site has been blocked
according to policy.
With SonicWALL CFS, network administrators have a flexible tool to provide comprehensive filtering
based on keywords, time of day, trusted and forbidden domain designations, and file types such as
Cookies, Java™ and ActiveX® for privacy. SonicWALL CFS automatically updates the filters, making
maintenance substantially simpler and less time consuming.
SonicWALL CFS can also be customized to add or remove specific URLs from the blocked list and to
block specific keywords. When a user attempts to access a site that is blocked by the SonicWALL, a
customized message is displayed on the user’s screen. SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances can also
be configured to log attempts to access sites on the SonicWALL Content Filtering Service database, on
a custom URL list, and on a keyword list to monitor Internet usage before putting new usage restrictions
in place.
