Unsecured and unmanaged Internet use can be a serious security and productivity risk to your organization. In today’s Web 2.0 environment where popular site content is created by users and malicious exploits are common, even on trusted sites, making Web security imperative. The foundation block for sound Web security is URL Filtering augmented by real-time content analysis and virus scanning.
Real-Time Web Content Analysis
iSheriff Web SaaS provides an extensive library of millions of websites sorted into policy compliance and reporting categories. This library is maintained and updated using patented dynamic data modelling or real-time content analysis. This technology service focuses on the sites that your users are actually visiting to ensure the content they are accessing is safe and appropriate.
Unlike traditional, static methods of website classification, iSheriff Web SaaS analyzes the content of a website regularly. Given that a website can be compromised at any time, it is no longer sufficient to permanently categorize a site and assume that it can be trusted. Therefore, iSheriff regularly assess the behaviour of a site to determine that it is safe and free from malicious content.
iSheriff URL Filtering Categories
iSheriff Web SaaS provides a library of websites sorted into categories of related content to help you define policy and manage access to the Web. iSheriff provides 56 categories arranged in 13 filter groups to streamline policy and make it easier to understand how filtering is applied.
