Configure URL Filtering (Strata Cloud Manager)
Follow these steps to configure URL Filtering profiles and settings that meet your
organization’s business and security needs.
After you plan your URL filtering deployment, you should have a basic understanding
of the types of websites your users are accessing. Use this information to create a
URL Filtering profile that defines how the firewall handles traffic to specific URL
categories. You can also restrict the sites to which users can submit corporate
credentials or enforce strict safe search. To activate these settings, apply the URL
Filtering profile to Security rules that allow web access.
Follow these steps to configure URL Filtering profiles and settings that meet your
organization’s business and security needs. See Advanced URL Filtering: Configure URL
Filtering for detailed steps.
