Set policies to control Web site access by utilizing multiple techniques:

URL Filtering Through Categories

The iBoss Enterprise Web Filter allows you to block access to Internet websites using categories such as adult, violence, illegal, hacking, drugs, dating, forums, video, gambling, games, shopping, webmail, entertainment and many more. You decide which categories to block. With over 50+ categories, powerful website access management with the iBoss Enterprise is made simple.

HTTPS/SSL Filtering Through Categories

The iBoss Enterprise Web Filter allows you to block access to Internet websites accessed via secure channels (https/SSL) by category. Traditional filters require blocking all secure https traffic and manually allowing individual websites via an allow list. The iBoss applies your category selections seamlessly across secure https traffic without having to guess which sites should be allowed and which should be blocked. You can always allow or block any specific site (secure or not) by adding them to custom allow and block lists.

URL Filtering By Domain Name or URL Pattern

Set policies to restrict certain Web sites, or Web site patterns. While other domain based filters restrict your ability to allow or block a site based strictly on domain name, the iBoss allows you to allow or block based on full URL in addition to domain names. This allows you to allow certain portions of a website while restricting other sections on the same domain.

Web Search Keyword Blocking

Set policies to prevent searching on particular keywords and terms. The iBoss uses deep analysis to accurately match keywords so that your block terms do not over match blocking content unintentionally. For example, matching on keyword sex will not match searches on the term Essex.

SafeSearch Enforcement

The iBoss Enterprise Web Filter allows you to enforce strict safe search on the Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines. This includes image searching. If this option is enabled and the user does not have search engine preferences set to strict safe searching, the iBoss will automatically turn the safe search preference to "strict". If the user disables the preference in an attempt to circumvent the option, the iBoss will automatically enable the preference back to strict. This allows an extra layer of enforcement to prevent adult and explicit content from being searched on these search engines.

Custom Blocking Options

The iBoss Enterprise Web Filter provides options for creating custom website block and allow list categories for specific website domains and/or sites. In addition, more advanced options are also provided to allow or disallow online activity on specific Internet ports. An allow-only list may also be configured to only allow access to a list of predetermined websites.

Domain Extension Restriction

Limiting access to foreign and unknown domain extensions provide an instant barrier to foreign threats. Simply select the domain extensions you wish to allow or block and the iBoss will prevent access to these domains.

File Extension Protection

Restricting access to file extension and executables such as .exe and .tor can prevent accidental downloading of dangerous threats lurking on the Internet. The iBoss actively scans and protects against emerging threats.
