Introduction

SonicWall Content Filtering Service (CFS) is a powerful protection and productivity solution that delivers ideal content filtering enforcement for educational institutions,businesses,libraries,and government agencies. Using SonicWall CFS,organizations have control over the websites employees can access using their IT-issued computer behind the firewall. SonicWall CFS compares requested websites against a massive database in the cloud containing millions of rated URLs,IP addresses,and websites. CFS provides administrators with the tools to create and apply policies that allow or deny access to sites based on individual or group identity,or by time of day,for numerous pre-defined categories. CFS also dynamically caches website ratings locally on the SonicWall firewall for near-instantaneous response times.
