Web filter

Web filter

Web filtering feature offers a flexible and effective solution to control and manage internet usage within your organization, tailored to your specific requirements and objectives. It’s a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and maintaining a secure digital environment. This feature has the ability to restrict users from accessing certain websites or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) by inhibiting the users’ browsers from loading the pages linked to these particular sites onto their devices.

Web filtering serves as the primary shield against attacks originating from the web. The FortiGuard URL Filtering Service provides comprehensive threat protection to address threats including ransomware, credential-theft, phishing, and other web-borne attacks. It uses AI-driven behavior analysis and correlation to block unknown malicious URLs almost immediately, with near-zero false negatives. The FortiGate’s WAD daemon sends the URLs to FortiGuard in real-time for category determination.

This section includes information about web filter techniques and configurations:
