Helios SWG delivers immediate value with ready-to-use policies that align with internet security best practices. Once activated, these policies are instantly and uniformly applied across the entire enterprise. Helios SWG also includes over 80 categories of website classifications, enabling administrators to easily comply with enterprise requirements governing access to sensitive or inappropriate content. Policies can be further refined using granular attributes such as user identity, location, and device posture. For each policy, the administrator can select the desired action, such as Allow, Block, or Prompt.
Blocking malicious, compromised, phishing, and parked domain categories significantly reduces users’ overall exposure to web-borne threats. Helios maintains an up-to-date blacklist of malicious domains across a constantly evolving domain landscape to ensure an optimal security posture. Attempts to access malicious sites can be logged for record-keeping, further analysis, prioritizing security training, and identifying repeat offenders.
