Best Filtering Practices

Threat Class Groups

8e6’s filtering library currently consists of 103 library filtering categories, each placed in one of the 20 filtering category groups defined in the interface: Adult Content, Bandwidth, Business/Investments, Community/Organizations, Education, Entertainment, Govern- ment/Law/Politics, Health/Fitness, Illegal/Questionable, Information Technology, Internet Communication, Internet Productivity, Internet/Intranet Misc., News/Reports, Religion/ Beliefs, Security, Shopping, Society/Lifestyles, Travel/Events, and Custom Categories.

Outside of the interface, we have also grouped these library categories into four Threat Class Groups, based on the type of security level that best defines them:

•Threats/Liabilities

•Bandwidth/Productivity

•General/Productivity

•Pass/Allow

Please review the Filtering Scenarios sub-section for information on configuring the R3000 to fulfill the filtering scenarios assigned to each of the four Threat Class Groups.
