Threats Hide Inside Everyday Browsing
Data threats have become smarter than ever — residing within malicious websites designed to expose data assets, leak them, or encrypt them for ransom. Users spend increasing time on the web for both personal and business use, and unfettered web activity exposes organisations to security and business risks: malware propagation, data loss, and compliance gaps.
|
Productivity Drain
Hours per employee per day on non-business sites — entertainment, social media, shopping. Real impact on output, especially on shift-based or operational teams. |
Inappropriate Content
Workplace exposure to objectionable content creates HR risk and compliance exposure, especially for regulated industries with mandatory acceptable-use policies. |
|
Bandwidth Strain
Streaming, video, P2P traffic chokes business-critical bandwidth. Shift bandwidth back to applications that actually drive revenue. |
Hosted Malware
Modern malware hides in compromised legitimate sites. Phishing pages mimic banks and brands. URL category filtering catches these patterns before users click. |
85+ Categories, Updated in Real Time
URL Filtering works by maintaining a highly categorised database of websites at the GajShield Threat Lab — allowing or disallowing access either at all times or on time schedules. Policies are configured through GajOS Bulwark's easy policy interface.
A website can sit in a single category or multiple categories. Block sites categorised as sports or gambling, allow Business or Productive categories — all in one policy rule. Categorisation happens in approximately 100 milliseconds, with local databases automatically updated alongside the central database.
CategoriseDomain identified, mapped to one or more of 85+ categories within ~100ms. |
Apply PolicyAllow, block, or rate-limit based on user, group, time of day, file size restrictions. |
Log EverythingGajOS Bulwark logs every URL access decision — for audits, investigations, and compliance. |
Five Pillars of URL Filtering
|
01
Allow or Block by CategoryURL filtering identifies the domain and categorises it for action based on your policy set. One rule covers thousands of sites in a category. |
02
Custom CategorisationCustom filtering by keyword and domain name. Create your own categories to allow or restrict specific sites for specific business needs. |
03
Real-Time CategorisationURL filtering categorises websites in approximately 100 milliseconds. Local databases update automatically alongside the central database. |
|
04
Multi-Protocol & MIME SupportURL filtering supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols, MIME type filtering, and file extension blocking — complete control over what enters via web traffic. |
05
Complete VisibilityGajOS Bulwark maintains a complete log of all URL filtering activities and actions taken — with user and contextual information for investigation. |
