Common Uses of Web Filtering: Web filtering has evolved into a pivotal component of modern cybersecurity strategies. Organizations commonly leverage web filtering to:

This feature is especially crucial for industries with strict regulatory requirements, such as finance or healthcare.

Optimize Bandwidth: Bandwidth-intensive websites can bog down network performance, affecting the user experience for everyone. Avast's Web Control comes to the rescue by limiting access to such websites, optimizing overall network performance and ensuring a smoother online experience for all users.

Protect Against Legal Liabilities: In today's litigious society, organizations must mitigate legal risks associated with online activities. Avast's Web Control contributes to this effort by preventing access to websites hosting illegal or inappropriate content, maintaining a safe and compliant online environment. This not only safeguards the organization but also helps in building a responsible digital presence.
