The key features of Web Control protect your systems from web-based threats, detect threats, and correct issues with file downloads.
Protect
Protect your systems from malicious websites and downloads using these Web Control features:
Block and Allow List — Prevent users from visiting specific URLs or domains or always allow access to sites that are important to your business.
Rating Actions and Web Category Blocking — Use safety ratings and web categories defined by Trellix to control user access to sites, pages, and downloads.
Secure Search — Automatically block risky sites from appearing in search results based on their safety rating.
Self protection — Prevent users from disabling the Web Control plug-in or uninstalling or changing Web Control files, registry keys, registry values, services, and processes.
Detect
Detect malicious websites using these Web Control features:
Web Control button in the browser window — The Web Control plug-in displays a button indicating the safety rating for the site. Click the button for more information about the site.
Web Control icon on search results pages — An icon appears next to each listed site. The color of the icon indicates the safety rating for the site. Hover over the icon for more information about the site.
Site reports — Details show how the safety rating was calculated based on types of threats detected, test results, and other data.
Dashboards and monitors — Display statistics about Web Control activity, including visits and downloads from sites by rating, content type, and blocked or allowed list.
Queries and reports — Retrieve detailed information about Web Control browser events, and save it in reports.
Correct
Monitor and tune Web Control behavior using these features:
Interlock with other Trellix products — Disable Web Control automatically if it detects a web gateway appliance or if Skyhigh Client Proxy is installed and in redirection mode.
File scanning for file downloads — Web Control sends files to Threat Prevention for scanning. If it detects a threat, Threat Prevention responds with the configured action such as clean, and alerts the user.
Dashboards and monitors — Monitor activity to understand browsing activity, then use that information to tune Web Control settings.
Exclusions — Prevent Web Control from rating or blocking specific IP addresses.
