About Web Content Filtering (WCF)

Web Content Filtering helps protect users from accessing websites known to pose security risks and can also be used to control the web-based content a user can access. Provides the ability to block content by category or specific websites containing material inappropriate for the workplace or malicious content.

What problems it solves

Hacking, phishing, viruses, and malware are some of the biggest threats to the State. Almost all of these rely on accessing outside web-based resources either through phishing links, or downloading malware. Web content filtering has a multitude of benefits for both individual users and agencies by protecting users from inappropriate content, blocking malware and phishing sites, protecting against infected ad networks and web-based exploits, and provides enhanced reports on user browsing activity.
