URL filtering profiles restrict access to specific websites and website categories. Each security policy can specify a URL filtering profile that blocks access to specific websites and website categories or generates an alert when the specified websites are accessed. The web categories are predefined by Trend Micro.

The URL filtering module provides procedures for creating and configuring profiles used in URL filtering policies. URL filtering, along with Web Reputation, is part of the multi-layered, multi-threat protection solution provided by Deep Edge.

With the URL Filtering feature in Deep Edge, set policies based on the URL categories (examples: Adult, Gambling, Financial Services). When a user requests a URL, Deep Edge first looks up the category for that URL and then allows or denies access to the URL based on the configured policies. You can also define a list of approved URLs that will not be filtered.
