Inappropriate Website Control
With this basic form of website control, you can filter the web activity of users, based on 14 website categories. There is a default action for each category, but, if necessary, you can select a different action.
Users can be blocked from visiting restricted websites. An event is triggered that is shown to the user and sent to Sophos Enterprise Console.
Alternatively, users can be warned by means of a notification when visiting controlled websites; even if the user does not proceed, a warning event is triggered. If the user proceeds and views a site despite the warning, a second event is triggered and sent to Sophos Enterprise Console.
If you select the Allow action for a website category, users can access all websites within this category, unless website exceptions are specified. Allow events are not logged when Inappropriate Website Control is selected.
