Using Astaro’s URL Filtering, companies control Web Security by blocking and allowing everything from an entire category type to a single URL. The reporting will show who visited what site, when, and how many times, along with bandwidth statistics that allow you to identify excessive or inappropriate usage.

Astaro URL Filtering is designed to provide many benefits without a confusing setup procedure. Just enable the filter and then choose the material you wish to block along with who should fall under this set of restrictions. You can create multiple profiles and assign them to different things; such as putting the guest wireless LAN under heavy restrictions while the in-house employee machines enjoy a more relaxed profile.

With over 95 classification categories, you have complete control over what is allowed to be accessed, by whom, and when. Combined with a directory authentication resource like Active Directory, policies can be built for existing users and groups, while detailed reports outline how effective the policy has been and if adjustments need to be made. Buckets can be used to combine multiple categories into a single profile, so that time isn’t wasted in building additional security policies.
