Prisma Access allows you to resolve mobile users' search engine queries to the engine's SafeSearch portal by performing an FQDN-to-IP mapping. Use transparent SafeSearch as an alternative to implementing strict SafeSearch when traffic cannot be decrypted (for example, at a store that provides guest internet access) and you want to prevent users with unmanaged devices, including display devices, from searching for restricted, inappropriate, or offensive material.
