Web Protection

Web Protection is supported on Windows devices only. Web Protection does not support IPv6.

Web Protection enables you to deliver web security, web filtering and web bandwidth monitoring for your customers using the All Devices view. Web Protection is installed on monitored devices and provides full visibility of programmatic and browser based online activity, including incognito sessions. You can monitor websites visited, the categories and reputations of websites, and web bandwidth consumption.

User access to configure, use, and view Web Protection is dependent on the permissions associated with their role.
