Use the Web Control policy to protect your managed Mac from browser-based threats.

Web Control is a browser-based threat prevention solution that you can deploy and manage from ePO - On-prem or ePO - SaaS.

When enabled, the software monitors each site that you access or browse, verifies its safety ratings, and allows or blocks navigation to the site according to the configuration. You can also block access to sites based on the content of the site.

Use Endpoint Security Web Control policies to configure protection settings for your managed Mac.
