Blocking illegal content and applications to comply with regulatory requirements without affecting the overall user experience or network performance.
Providing a safe online experience has become mission-critical for national authorities and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) as they cope with increased cyber threats, including offensive, criminal, or unethical online activities. Regulations aimed at protecting the general population often require network operators to filter harmful content, malicious sites, and illegal applications as well as capture and retain records of access attempts.
Simply activate SmartSentinel’s WebSafe module in your Allot Service Gateway to monitor all network traffic and block access to block-listed URLs and domains. You may also display a customized information page to blocked users and redirect them to a captive portal. Works in harmony with other integrated services in Allot unified platforms.
WebSafe works over well-known and widely used layer-5 protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and QUIC, as well as QUIC with obfuscated headers.
Allot’s powerful filtering mechanism introduces almost no delay in processing internet requests, ensuring no impact on the subscriber experience. Automated online updates to blocklists are propagated immediately to enforcement elements. Multiple WebSafe filters are supported for lists coming from different agencies or different regulatory bodies. Completely supported over HTTP, HTTPS, and even QUIC.
SmartSentinel simultaneously supports multiple blocklists and is fully integrated with the official blocklist of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and its automated update mechanisms. Allot also enables fast integration of additional blocklists in compliance with regulatory bodies.
