BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud offers security filters that you use to create rules that restrict certain Internet context users and applications can access. You can configure category filters and application filters. Based on your configuration, specific actions such as Allow or Block will be taken on the detected content.
Category filters are content categorization rules that BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud uses to detect and filter specific internet content, such as gambling related sites or certain lifestyle information.
Application filters are rules that BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud uses to allow or deny specific applications, such as email, video conferencing, and others. The Application Classification Service (ACS) provides accessibility to applications based on their category or subcategory. Using application filters, you can set security policies based on whether you want to allow an application to access the Internet at all times, or if you want the application to use local resolution when used with BloxOne DDI appliances.
