OctoGate's Content Filtering Solution

OctoGate Content Filter

Personal internet use at work costs the German economy several billion euros annually. A total of 40% of internet use is unrelated to work. Nearly 70% of all visits to adult websites occur between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Misuse of the internet at work is the second most common cause of security incidents, surpassed only by viruses.

Many companies have not yet implemented a web filter or URL filter, whether out of concern for workplace morale, legal uncertainty, the absence of or unclear terms of use, or simply due to limited budgets. You should no longer take this risk.

The benefits of the OctoGate content filter:

  • Caching of approximately 60 million URLs
  • Daily automatic update
  • Storage in an integrated SQL database
  • Easy selection with 24 available categories

Spotlight on…

The categories contain lists of URLs grouped by topic, which you can use in the WebGUI to block or allow access to websites. These are supplemented by manually definable blacklists and whitelists.

This provides you with an easy-to-use solution for filtering or sharing content by topic and tailoring it to your specific needs. For example, you can block all search engines and allow only the one you want.

You can create filter profiles that allow you to assign these rules to individual users or groups and apply them on a time-based schedule using break filters, or define exceptions.

Analysis & Prevention

Let OctoGate perform a content analysis of visited websites and filter them based on a list of bad words: You can define a threshold and create a list of “offensive” words, assigning each a value from 1 to 9. If the sum of the values of the dirty words found on a webpage exceeds the threshold, the page is blocked. As a template, we provide you with a comprehensive list of content that has proven effective in everyday use.

Make your search results safer from the start by using OctoGate to enforce the SafeSearch filter on popular search engines, so that offensive content never appears in the first place.

Includes a content filter

The content filter, with all its features, is included as standard in all OctoGate firewall solutions at no extra cost.
