Web Control

Web Control allows controlling actions by LAN users, by restricting or blocking access to web resources.

A web resource is an individual web page or several web pages, or a website or several websites that have a common feature.

Web Control provides the following options:

• Saving traffic.

  Traffic is controlled by restricting or blocking downloads of multimedia files, or by restricting or blocking access to web resources that are unrelated to users' job responsibilities.

• Delimiting access by content categories of web resources.

  To save traffic and reduce potential losses from the misuse of employee time, you can restrict or block access to specified categories of web resources (for example, block access to sites that belong to the "Internet communication" category).

• Centralized control of access to web resources.

  When using Kaspersky Security Center, personal and group settings of access to web resources are available.

All restrictions and blocks that are applied to access to web resources are implemented as web resource access rules.
