Trellix defines categories for the types of content on websites. You can allow or block access to sites based on these categories.
When you enable web category blocking in the Content Actions settings, the software blocks or allows categories of websites. These web categories include Gambling, Games, and Instant Messaging. Trellix defines and maintains the list of about 105 web categories.
When a client user accesses a site, the software checks the web category for the site. If the site belongs to a defined category, access is blocked or allowed, based on the settings in the Content Actions settings. For sites and file downloads in the unblocked categories, the software applies the specified Rating Actions.
