Policies govern user Internet access. A policy is a schedule that determines how and when clients are able to access websites and Internet applications. At their simplest, policies consist of:

Category filters, used to apply actions (permit, block) to website categories

Protocol filters, used to apply actions to Internet applications and non-HTTP

protocols

Note

In Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere environments, the hybrid service does not enforce protocol filters.



A schedule that determines when each filter is enforced

Policies let you assign varying levels of Internet access to clients (for example, users, groups, or IP addresses in your network). First, create filters to define precise Internet access restrictions, and then use the filters to construct a policy.
