About Content Filtering and Scans

The UTM provides very extensive web content and email content-filtering options, web browsing activity reporting, email antivirus and antispam options, and instant alerts via email. You can establish restricted web access policies that are based on the time of day, web addresses, and web address keywords. You can also block Internet access by applications and services, such as instant messaging and peer-to-peer file-sharing clients.

Note: Traffic that passes on the UTM’s VLANs and on the secondary IP addresses that you have configured on the LAN Multi-homing screen

(see Configure Multihome LAN IP Addresses on the Default VLAN on

page 109) is also scanned for content and malware threats.

Note: For information about how to monitor blocked content and malware

threats in real time, see Monitor Real-Time Traffic, Security, and

Statistics on page 477. For information about how to view blocked content and malware threats in the logs, see Query and Manage the Logs on page 507.
