Content filtering for Public WiFi

About 2 years ago, we set up free public wifi for our county park/zoo (we're government) and are using OpenDNS Umbrella services. During the summer months, we have about 5k visitors/day, and during peak days, about 10k visitors/day. We only really need a content filter for these people because it's a totally different pipe from our business network. The OpenDNS solution works good for us, but it gets a little pricey because they charge per AP (we're running Ruckus AP's if anyone's curious).
The cost really hasn't really been an issue, but we're adding another 40 AP's for a different campus (Healthcare setting, residents) and the price per AP will start to add up.
Anyone have suggestions for any other solutions that might work in this scenario?

chiz1,
Content filtering can be very important. You can limit certain services with our FamilyBase service http://vz.to/MYAZU9 What type of services/content were you looking to filter?

Content Filtering for new tablets

We did this last year with our tablets. We went with iboss filtering which I highly recommend but it looks like you have web filtering in place so you would need to proxy the internet traffic. Contact the tech support of your web filtering and explain them what you need to do and they will tell you what needs to be done on your end. Then you would have to create configuration profile and push (you need MDM here) the proxy configurations to your tablets.

Hello all,
I work for a local high school and they just bought tablets for all of the kids to use during the school year. They are wanting content filtering while they are at school, which we have, but they are also wanting "off site" filtering as well. What/How is the easiest way to set that up? We currently have a Cisco Meraki firewall setup for the high school.

Content filters on public mail i.e. gmail, yahoo etc

is there a way to create content policies on web security appliances on information sent on public mails( gmail yahoo ) or IMs?
it might sound stupid as you cannot control the mail server so filter what can be sent out or not but on the other hand you can monitor the web traffic
:-)

You might be referring to our DLP (Data Loss Prevention) seen on 6.0 and above. Below is a clip from our User Guide, you can search for that section to see if it fits your needs.
DATA SECURITY AND EXTERNAL DLP POLICIES OVERVIEW
In the Information Age, your organization’s data is one of its most prized possessions. Your
organization spends a lot of money making data available to your employees, customers, and
partners. Data is always on the move by traveling over the web and email. This increased
access poses challenges for information security professionals to figure out how to prevent the
malicious, accidental, or unintentional loss of sensitive and proprietary information.
The IronPort Web Security appliance secures your data by providing the following
capabilities:
• IronPort Data Security Filters. The IronPort Data Security Filters on the Web Security
appliance evaluate data leaving the network over HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP to control what
data goes where and how and by whom.
• Third party data loss prevention (DLP) integration. The Web Security appliance integrates
with leading third party content-aware DLP systems that identify and protect sensitive
data. The Web Proxy uses the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) which is a
lightweight HTTP based protocol that allows proxy servers to offload content scanning to
external systems. By offloading the content scanning to dedicated external systems, the
Web Proxy can take advantage of the deep content scanning in other products while
being free to perform other Web Proxy functions with minimal performance impact.

Are Content Filters available from Verizon for Apple iPhone 5c?

I noticed that Verizon offers Content Filters for my kids' Apple iPhone 4, but one is not offered for the 5c. Is that correct?
If so, what are some good alternatives for a dad concerned about his son's access to the garbage on the interweb?

CluelessDad We understand the importance of content filtering for your devices. The 4g apple devices do not support our content filtering options. You can try going into the settings for the brwoser on the device settings, general,restrictions and restrcition options.

DKIM/DomainKeys Content Filters Best Practices?

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has some best practices on implementing content filters for domain keys/dkim results on incoming mail. I am having a tough time figuring out a good solution to this problem as we have various users who also subscribe to mailing lists, which obviously break domain keys if the server doesn't resign the message?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi,
SDN is using Web Page Composer. You should also take a look into WPC for publishing EFP. WPC is based on KM, but has several advantages over XML Forms.
Regarding the security aspect:
There are several SDN articles / documentations about how to implement an EFP (like: Look & Feel, Framework Pages and Portal Navigation).
You can restrict access for anonymous users - in fact, you'll have to explicitly allow access for anonymous users. If you don't like that your users can access something else than /etc/public/, just don't give the guest user read access. You can alsouse a reverse proxy to allow access to only the necessary KM folders and redirect the rest to the start page.

Tobias

Does the ASA5525-K9 support Content filtering?

Hi,
I know the 5510 & 5520s support the CSC-SSM module for Content Filtering (Anti-Phishing, Anti Spam, URL filtering,
Anti-Spyware & Antivirus), but what about content filtering for the ASA5525-K9.
The problem that I have is that I need a firewall that supports up to 1 Gbps Maximum Firewall Throughput and to support 250 users with Content Filtering described above.
I'm using the following doc for sizing and came across the ASA5525-K9 for 1 Gbps, but not sure about the Content filtering:

No, the new X series ASA does not support Content Filtering CSC module.
Here is what is supported on the new ASA5525-X for your reference:

Sorry i asked an open generic question.
I have installed "0PSPO_D1 - Purchase Order History (DSO)" from sap standard delivered version. Which is mapping two sources.
1. From standard srm DSO 0SRPO_D1 and the other from infosource 0PSSRM_PO - Public Sector : Purchase Order.
Here in public sector, we are having a new bunch of char and keyfigures which is not getting mapped from both this transformations. I am cofused how to handle this kind of issues.
If could help me out providing the document for the procurement for public sector objects that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Lasya.

Does "first match" win on Content Filters?

If I define multiple content filters for a given outbound mail policy, would system stop looking at filters once a match is found on one of the content filters or should I force that by using a "final" action in my content filters?
I know "first match wins" apply to some other scenarios, but couldn't see a clear explanation to above question in section 6 of Config guide where content filters are defined (and testing with system did not clear that for me either).
Thanks.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

Hello John,
An emaill being processed by the content filters or messages filters will continue down the list of content/message filters until it hits the last filter or a 'final' action filter command. If the email being processed needs to exit (by administrative choice), the filter it hits, should have a final action. This only applies to certain conditions, where the administrator does not want the filter's last action to be overwritten by another filter down the pipeline.
cheers,
-Alvaro

Re: content filters not available

Branched from content filters not available
AdaS (or anyone else @ VZW) --
So... Here we are again. It is now a year since the issue was originally raised on here.
Why does Verizon not want to develop content filters for customers on their 4G network with 4G LTE phones?? What are consumers not being told?
The 3G content filter was developed by Verizon to allow the user filtering controls on the Verizon network. We want Verizon to replicate what it did for their 3G network and do the same when our 4G phones access their 4G network. What's the big deal??
Please stop the running-in-circles-game. Don't keep sending us to the various manufacturers. That is not where the answer is. Why is this issue not important enough for Verizon to have addressed it by now?
I apologize if I may be coming across as less than pleasant, but why does this have to be so frustrating??

I think you misunderstand. This thread is looking for the network content filtering to be available. The S4 does not have content filtering as it has no options available when logged into my account. The filtering you just suggested simply limits what apps you can choose to download out of the play store, not filtering the web traffic on the device.
I checked out the link you sent, and under Family Safeguards and Controls, the option we are all wanting is the “Content Filters”. However, these are the ones that simply display “Content Filters Not Available” when you go to configure them on your account.
The question is, when is it going to be available or is it never? If not, what 4G phones will it work on if any?
This was an awesome feature with the 3G phones, but is a major loss so far with the 4G.

Internet content filters

Any way to provide content filtering for web access (aka: block porn, etc.)? The previously posted solution was "Unite" software which is no longer available.

I would recommend Content Barrier (www.intego.com), although I think it does block sites based on a list, it is very good and will monitor the admin account as well. Plus a trial version is available which is always a plus.
The only content filter that monitors based on actual site content is DansGuardian which is free, but I found a pain to set up. Still, it's worth trying if you can find a decent mac setup guide. A mac version is available here: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/DansGuardian.shtml, and the DansGuardian homepage is here: http://dansguardian.org/

Content filters not available

I want to turn on the content filters for a Samsung Galaxy S4, but get the message:
The cell phone associated with this number is not compatible with the
Content Filters service. If this is a 4G LTE device please check back at
a later date as we are currently working to make these devices compatible.
Go to Support/Device to see if a software update is available for your device.
Does anybody know when they will be available on the S4?

IOS Content Filtering Using TrendMicro: Can I customize the block-page redirect-url?

I have IOS content filtering using the Trend Micro subscription service working on a 2911 running 15.1.(3)T3 with the security license option and a 30 day demo Trend subscription.
Once I figured out that the content filtering for Trend appears to be completely broken in 15.2 (even using docs for 15.2) I went back to 15.1 and it works great.
Everything seems great so far except I would like to have a more 'fancy' or custom blocked page where a user can have a couple links to either go to the trend micro reporting page http://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/result.php or some other page, and maybe some branding so they know the page is coming from our network and is not some fake security thing or phishing attempt or whatever.
I know I can use the 'parameter-map type urlfpolicy trend ' section to do a tiny bit of customization of the text that appears on the default blocked page display and there is an option for it to go to a simple redirect instead ('block-page redirect-url') but I wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to do more with either the built in page or the redirect-url to keep the information of what page the user was trying to access and why it was blocked (category etc.) while adding more features.
Thanks!
Oh, one last thing, this doesn't support any kind of 'user override' or anything like that does it? So that a network can have a filter applied but an admin could override the filtering to allow temporary access to something?

Hmm... no thoughts over the weekend. Anyone?
