We have also used MTBW's services at our main office. It is very reassuring to know their quick response and excellent service is only a phone call away."

FORTIGUARD WEB FILTERING

Fortinet's FortiGuard Web Filtering solution is a hosted service designed to provide Web URL filtering for schools, libraries, government agencies, and enterprise businesses of all sizes. FortiGuard Web Filtering solution consists of two parts, the FortiGuard Rating Server and the FortiGate Antivirus Firewall. The FortiGuard Rating Server is a master ratings database that is made up of 5 million websites and over 1 billion pages, sorted into 56 categories. The FortiGuard Web Filtering solution does not require any additional hardware and can be activated on all FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls to improve productivity, and reduce the substantial risks and legal liability associated with inappropriate and illegal content.

How FortiGuard Web Filtering Works?

  1. User requests a URL.
  2. If the rating for the URL is already cached in the FortiGate unit, it is immediately compared with the policy for the user. If the site is allowed, the page is requested (3a) and the response is retrieved (4b).
  3. If the URL rating is not in the FortiGate cache, the page is requested (3a) and a rating request is made simultaneously to the FortiGuard Rating Server (3b).
  4. When the rating response is received by the FortiGate unit (4a), it is compared with the requestor's policy (2). The response from the Web site (4b) is queued by the FortiGate unit if necessary until the rating is received.
  5. If the policy is to allow the page, the Web site response (4b) is passed to the requestor (5). Otherwise, a user-definable "blocked" message is sent to the requestor and the event is logged in the content filtering log.
