It uses three layers of screening based on: (1) custom categories, (2) the Wavecrest categorization (control) list and (3) a real-time deep packet analysis process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong><strong>Custom Categories (the \u201cFirst Layer\u201d).<\/strong> \u2018Custom categories\u2019 supplement the standard categories. This enables you to better identify and control your users\u2019 Web activity. \u00a0 For example, you can create a custom category to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Serve as a \u201cwhite list\u201d  that contains all sites to which visits are allowed (while blocking all others).<\/li>\n<li>Track and possibly block access to \u2018standard\u2019 sites that are not in the Wavecrest URL List but are of special local interest or concern.<\/li>\n<li>Serve as a \u201cblack list\u201d that contains all sites to be blocked (while allowing access to all others).<\/li>\n<li>Track (but not block) visits to internal servers (intranet sites) and\/or partner sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can add custom categories at the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2013 Category Setup \u2013 Custom Categories<\/strong> screen.  Then use the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2013 Category Setup \u2013 Edit URLs<\/strong> screen to add sites into your custom categories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>The Wavecrest URL List (the \u201cSecond Layer\u201d).<\/strong> To accurately identify and categorize the vast majority of visits, Wavecrest products use a large, mature categorization control list.\u00a0  This \u2018control\u2019 list consists of 69 \u2018standard\u2019 content-identification categories that is  updated daily with URLs from around the world.\u00a0  We recommend that you download the list daily to get the best filtering and monitoring coverage. \u00a0 You can setup an automatic daily download of the list at the <strong>Administration \u2013 URL List \u2013 Schedule<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p>Another great customization feature with the control list is that you can add and move URLs in the standard categories.\u00a0 For example, if you use Twitter as a Marketing tool but want to continue to block all other social networking sites, you can simply add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.twitter.com<\/a> to the Marketing category.\u00a0 You can make this change at the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2013 Category Setup \u2013 Edit URLs<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, set your block\/allow policies for your custom categories and standard categories at the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2013 Filtering Settings \u2013 Block Web Categories<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Deep Packet Analysis (the \u201cThird Layer\u201d).<\/strong> Using real-time \u2018deep packet analysis,\u2019 CyBlock can determine if the content of a URL is Flash, video streaming, audio streaming, images, Active X and more.\u00a0  Any or all of these could be considered \u201cinappropriate\u201d and can be blocked.\u00a0 You can also add your own extensions to be blocked.\u00a0 You can block these types of content or add your own at the <strong>Advanced Settings \u2013 Filter Settings \u2013 Block Web Content<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong><strong>Hourly Blocking.<\/strong> You can block or allow categories at specific hours during the day.\u00a0 For example, you may want to allow access to some categories during the lunch hour. You can set these hourly policies by clicking on the clock icon at the <strong>Block Web Categories<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>Customizable Blocking Message.<\/strong> CyBlock comes with a standard blocking message, but you can configure the product to point to your own Web policy or personalized blocking message.\u00a0 You can set this custom message at the <strong>Advanced Settings &#8211; Filter Settings &#8211; Web Blocking Message<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RealTimePlus is our customer-configurable three-layer filtering process.
