An enterprise web filtering solution not only has to provide a robust defense against web-borne threats, it has to be flexible in order to meet the demands of the enterprise. However, flexibility without ease-of-use can result in the solution being ineffective. If enterprise web filtering software is complicated to configure, filtering parameters may either be set too high – obstructing workflows – or set too low, providing a gateway for cybercriminals and hackers.
At SpamTitan, we are aware of the potential issues related to enterprise web filtering, and we have developed a range of flexible and easy-to-use enterprise Internet filtering solutions that can be deployed and configured within minutes, that have no upfront costs, and that have minimal maintenance overheads – releasing IT resources to focus on other important issues. We also provide advice on how to optimize filtering parameters.
How Our Flexible Enterprise Web Filtering Software Works
In order to maximize the flexibility of our enterprise web filtering software, we use a three-tier filtering mechanism and whitelists to allow access to websites that may otherwise be blocked and to reduce the strain on CPU resources when the solution is inspecting encrypted websites. The three tiers consist of URIBL/SURBL filters, category filters and keyword filters:
- URIBL/SURBL filters check requests to visit websites against blacklists of websites known to be harboring malware or who disguise their true identities behind proxy servers. They also check for any IP addresses associated with phishing attacks and block access if a match is found.
- Our category filters sort more than six billion web pages into fifty-three different categories (abortion, adult entertainment, alternative beliefs, alcohol, etc.). Network managers can block access to any of the categories with the click of a mouse via the centralized management portal.
- Keyword filters block access to websites containing specific words, using specific apps, or inviting downloads with specific file extensions. This third tier of our enterprise web filtering software provides a high level of granularity to prevent workflow obstruction or gateways for cybercriminals.
All the filtering parameters are subject to user policies, which can be created and managed by individual user, user group or enterprise-wide. For ease of use, our enterprise Internet filtering solution can be integrated with Active Directory and LDAP, and allows for multiple administrative roles to be created for network managers, policy managers, and reporting managers.
Flexible Deployment Options Add to Ease of Use

Network managers can also set up email alerts to notify of any attempts to circumnavigate the enterprise web filtering software.
