Web filtering is a content controlling technique used to restrict certain websites, which may be accessed by employees. In other words, it gives you control over data in an organization. Web filters restrict access to undesirable sites, which are blocked as per standards installed in the filter. This is also known as URL filtering. Web filtering gives organizations peace of mind, because it ensures employees are getting on with what they’re meant to; not scrolling through social media or online shopping or exposing the company to security threats.
