Content Filtering

Two primary implementation methods for content filtering are:

1. Dynamic Content Filtering: Real-time monitoring of internet traffic data to detect and block specific keywords or content patterns dynamically.
2. URL Filtering: Restricting access according to pre-defined URL lists. URL filtering also has significant security benefits, as it enables blocking known phishing websites, thereby preventing phishing attacks. Additionally, by blocking access to "Command and Control (C&C)" servers utilized by malware, URL filtering provides robust defense against information leakage following malware infections.
