Content Filtering Example:

How Content Filtering Works
1. Users request access to websites outside of the protected network.

When browsing the Internet, users request to access approved (1a) or unproductive, inappropriate (1b) websites.

2. Surf Sentinel allows and denies traffic as defined by network's Internet access policy.

Surf Sentinel checks and sorts requests by allowing access to approved websites and blocking access to restricted websites.
