How Web URL Filtering Service works:

Symantec MessageLabs Web Security.cloud facilitates comprehensive URL filtering and controls web use to help enforce your Web acceptable use policy.

• Policy rules for Web traffic are configured using the Symantec.cloud administrative interface
• All Web traffic requests pass through the Symantec.cloud platform, hosted in secure data centers worldwide.
• When a Web traffic request is received, policy rules are evaluated and processed to determine whether it is blocked or allowed to pass.
• Different rules can be applied to different user groups and individuals, certain file types can be blocked and time or volume-based Internet consumption limits can be created.
• Web traffic requests matching a policy, will follow default or custom rules set in place by the administrator of the service (Actions include: allow, block, log, allow and log, block, block and log.)
