Cyberoam Content and Application Filtering

Enterprises face heavy financial damage due to entry of viruses, malware, worms, Trojans, spyware, and more through malicious websites. Phishing, pharming and spyware may lead to theft of passwords, identity theft and loss of other confidential information. Indiscriminate Internet surfing by internal users leaves enterprises vulnerable to legal liabilities, besides loss of productivity. Unrestricted use of file-sharing applications like IM and P2P and multimedia downloads cause risk of data loss or leakage as well as bandwidth choking, draining the enterprise resources.

In addition to the Cyberoam gateway security appliance like gateway Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware, gateway Anti-Spam, Intrusion Prevention System and firewall-VPN, Cyberoam offers comprehensive protection to enterprises against spyware, pharming, phishing, malicious site content and much more with its internet content filtering solution. Cyberoam’s internet content filtering solution plays a critical role in ensuring CIPA certification to school districts and libraries.

Comprehensive Protection

Cyberoam Content Filtering controls Internet access through its comprehensive database of millions of sites segregated into more than 82+ categories. WebCat, Cyberoam’s automated web categorization engine has one of the industry’s best and most comprehensive URL database to protect enterprises against emerging threats. Enterprises can create custom categories for groups that are unique to their enterprise to customize the security cover delivered by Cyberoam’s web filtering solution. Cyberoam’s database is available on the CR appliance itself, delivering low latency and eliminating network dependency in contrast to other products where the site database resides on a remote server requiring a query at the time of site access.

Cyberoam’s application layer filtering allows enterprises control over IM and P2P applications like Yahoo, Skype, MSN and more. File transfers over these applications can be blocked using Cyberoam Intrusion Prevention System. Enterprises can create custom messages for blocked categories or sites, educating end-users regarding safe security practices.

Safe Search - Filter Adult Content

Safe Search allows organizations to control search results from Google, Yahoo and other search engines. When enabled, web sites containing pornography and explicit sexual content can be blocked from Google and Yahoo search results. For this to be applicable, Cyberoam categories of Porn, AdultContent and Nudity should be denied in the Internet Access policy. Cyberoam Safe Search enables educational institutions to protect minors, helping them meet the requirements of CIPA compliance. Further, it helps corporations control instances of legal liability due to uncontrolled surfing that results in an unhealthy work environment.

Identity-Based Access and Reporting

Cyberoam Content Filtering can be configured to create access policies based on groups, departments, levels in hierarchy or even the individual user. This allows enterprises to create differential policies based on work profile to finance, marketing, HR departments or for educational institutions based on academic requirement for students, staff, administrators.

This ensures that Cyberoam offers individualized security without compromising business flexibility. Web access can also be controlled for specific groups of individual users during specific periods during the day or week or in providing temporary web access through Cyberoam’s web filtering solution.

Cyberoam dashboard offers enterprise-wide view of web access which drills down to user-level reporting with extensive reports on data transfer, applications used, sites visited, search engine usage profile and much more. This allows enterprises to control unproductive surfing and high bandwidth-consuming downloads that may drain corporate resources and expose enterprises to legal liabilities.
