SonicWALL CFS reduces administrative overhead and extends protection by leveraging a dynamic database of millions of URLs, IP addresses and domains that is continuously updated and limitless in size. At the core of CFS is an innovative Web site caching and rating architecture that provides network administrators with greater control to automatically block entire categories of inappropriate and objectionable Web content such as porn, hate, violence, nudity and others. With the CFS caching feature, URL ratings are stored locally on the SonicWALL appliance, reducing response time to frequently-visited sites to a fraction of a second.

Marketing Information

More and more businesses, schools and libraries are connecting to the Internet to meet their organizational and educational goals. In doing so, they are faced with the need to control access to inappropriate or objectionable websites. Without that control, businesses risk productivity losses, liability exposure and misallocation of bandwidth due to non-productive web surfing. Schools and libraries risk forfeiting their federal funding unless they provide the content filtering mandated by the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). SonicWALL's revolutionary Content Filtering Service (CFS) is an enterprise-class, scalable solution that is both affordable and easy to use. Featuring a powerful rating and caching architecture, CFS leverages a comprehensive database of over 4 million continuously updated websites.
