Overview of Web Control

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Web Control monitors web searching and browsing activity on client computers. It protects against threats on webpages and in file downloads.

A Trellix team analyzes each website and assigns a color-coded safety rating based on test results. The color indicates the level of safety for the site.

Web Control uses the test results to identify web-based threats. Software installed on the client system adds features that appear in the browser window and search results to notify users.

You can use Trellix ePO - On-prem to deploy and manage Web Control on client systems. It allows administrators to regulate site access based on safety ratings, content type, and specific URLs or domain names.

Additionally, administrators can directly manage the Web Control browser extension through McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator.

Note

Web Control is not supported in the ARM architecture.
