ID 65749
The Kaspersky Security functionality described in this section is available only if the application is installed on a virtual machine with a Windows desktop operating system.
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 can monitor the web resources, which are accessed through secure connections.
Web Control provides the following features:
- 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.
- Differentiation of 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 "News media" 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.
This section describes how to configure Web Control settings using the Administration Console and the Light Agent for Windows local interface. You can also configure the Web Control settings using the Web Console when creating or modifying the Light Agent for Windows policy settings (Application Settings → Endpoint control → Web Control).
