Web Access and Device Control

Safeguards web and device interactions while supporting compliance and productivity. Integrated with GravityZone, it offers IT administrators the flexibility and control they need to protect and optimize business operations.

The product is available as an add-on, which, when added to your company is listed next to your main license.

The product gives your company access to the following benefits:

  • Web Access Control - allows you to manage web access for users or applications at specific times. Blocked web pages are not visible in the browser due to Web Access Control. Instead, a default web page appears, notifying the user that the requested web page has been blocked by Web Access Control.

  • Device Control - allows preventing the sensitive data leakage and malware infections via external devices attached to endpoints by applying blocking rules and exceptions via policy to a vast range of device types (such as USB flash drives, Bluetooth devices, CD/DVD players, storage devices, etc.).

Configure and install the new features

Important

We recommend trying out the new features on a limited set of endpoints. This is most easily done by creating a new policy and applying it to the endpoints selected for testing.

To start using these new features, follow the steps below:

Preparing and deploying policies

  1. Log in to GravityZone Control Center.

  2. Go to the Policies page from the left side menu.

  3. You can either:

    • Create a new policy.

    • Edit one of your existing policies.

  4. Go to the Network page from the left side menu, and under Content control > Web access control, enable and configure the module.

  5. Go to the Device control page, and configure the module.

  6. Save your policy.

  7. If you created a new policy, apply it to the endpoints you want to test it on.

    If you edited an existing policy, the changes will take place on all endpoints it was applied to.

This will allow you to enable the newly available features on all selected endpoints.

Creating a reconfigure client task to deploy the Content Control and Device Control modules

  1. Log in to GravityZone Control Center.

  2. Go to the Network page from the left side menu and select the endpoints you wish to deploy the module on.

  3. Click the Tasks button and select Reconfigure client.

  4. Under Modules select Add and enable:

    • Network Protection > Content Control

    • Device Control

    Note

    For more information on using the Reconfigure client task refer to Reconfigure agent.

  5. Click Save.

    The task will now deploy the selected modules on all selected endpoints.
