FortiGuard® Web Filtering Service

The FortiGuard Web Filtering Service provides Web URL filtering for schools, libraries, government agencies, and enterprise businesses of all sizes. It enables FortiGate and FortiWifi appliances, and FortiClient end point security agents, to block access to harmful, inappropriate, and dangerous websites that may contain phishing/pharming attacks, malware such as spyware, or objectionable content that can expose your organization to legal liability. Based on automatic research tools and targeted research analysis, real-time updates enable you to apply highly-granular policies that filter web access based on more than 75 web content categories, and more than 47 million rated websites - all continuously updated via the FortiGuard Network.
