  1. Open the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client.

  2. Click Web Control on the main Status page.

    Or, from the Action menu GUID-A3B12F55-7EE9-4519-8FCA-9ACA85C3661F-low.png, select Settings, then click Web Control on the Settings page.

  3. Click Show Advanced.

  4. Click Content Actions.

  5. In the Web Category Blocking section, for each Web Category, enable or disable the Block option.

    For sites in the unblocked categories, Web Control also applies the rating actions.

  6. In the Rating Actions section, specify the actions to apply to any sites and file downloads, based on safety ratings defined by Trellix.

    Note

    These actions also apply to sites that web category blocking doesn't block.
