Hello,
I think WebSense is pretty good, they seems closely integrated with Cisco:

Can Cisco connect be used for small business web filtering?

I am searching for a web filtering solution for our small church. The core requirement is to use a hardware-based solution to filter all internet traffic. Our current wiring looks like this: [ISP router] --> [switch] --> [Open Mesh wireless access points]. Can I connect a Linksys EA2700/3500/4500/6500 between the [ISP router] and the [Switch], disable the Linksys wireless, and use Cisco Connect to filter all the internet traffic?
More info: We will only have a handful of wired/wireless devices which we have control over. We expect most of the rest of the traffic to be generally outside our control via personally owned devices connecting thru the public wifi. Therefore any solution which requires installation of software on individual devices will not work.
(If there are other threads on this topic I'd be more than happy to read them, I just couldn't find any.)
Thanks!!

Web Filtering / URL Filtering

Dear All,
I am looking forward to buy the cisco ASA Firewall with the below mentioned part number.
ASA5525-SSD120-K9 kindly please let me know whether it supports WEB Filtering / URL Filtering.
or do i need to go for any other model or license.
Awaiting your quick responses as it is very urgent.
Responses are highly appreciated..

That's the hardware
You also need a software subscription for the URL/web stuff/IPS
Near the bottom of this page: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/asa-5500-series-next-generation-firewalls/data_sheet_c78-701659.html
there is a chart with the options and part numbers.

Web Filtering Proxy Suggestions

I'm looking into web-filtering & monitoring software to run in a small business (5 -10 users). Either for use on OS X Server or separate mac machine. Only basic requirements are online-updatable web site classifications and time controls. Anybody currently use anything which I can add to my list, in case I miss something?
Thanks
-david
PS. I'm also looking at hardware based solutions for larger businesses (20-50 users) but this is maybe off-topic for an Apple forum... however...

The price seems a bit high to me. I "only" paid around $350 for my Core i3-540 system including a Lian Li PC-Q07B Mini-ITX case, 4GB G.Skill DDR3 ECO Ram and a 500GB 2,5" harddrive.

Bizarre VPN behavior with Cymphonix Web Filtering Device

We just purchased some Cymphonix web filtering devices. These devices sit in-line (as a bridge) on the way from our internal network to the inside interface of our failover pair of 5520 ASAs. The ASAs are active/passive, single context. The software rev is 8.4(2).
We run about 320 site-to-site VPNs as well as AnyConnect VPNs to our ASAs. When I brought the Cymphonix devices in-line, all appeared to be working. Traffic was flowing out to the internet from our internal network. I was seeing stats and analysys from the Cymphonix device. However, after a few minutes, almost all of our VPNs went down (both site-to-site and Anyconnect). Traffic from the internal network to the internet was still working fine. When I tried to re-establish an Anyconnect VPN using my laptop on an outside connection, it failed. The message said the ASA "rejected" the connection. I turned up some debug on the ASA and got messages that included text like "internal error". Once I cabled the inside of the ASA directly back to the switch instead of going through the Cymphonix (and rebooted the ASA, just to be safe), the VPNs came back up.
I'm scratching my head, to put it mildly. A VPN is negotiated to the ASA. The traffic involved in establishing and maintaining the VPN will never see the Cymphonix box because the ASA processes it and it goes no further. So, how can connecting something to the inside interface of the ASA cause the VPNs to crumble? I should be able to connect anything I want or nothing at all to the inside of the ASA and it shouldn't matter one bit to the health of the VPNs. Here's another twist: all of the traffic that comes out of those site-to-site VPNs is delivered to an interface other than the inside (traffic from our customers is delivered to an isolated part of our network). So the inside interface is even more "uninvolved" in those site-to-site VPNs.
Traffic from the internal network out to the internet was flowing fine. Basic functionality was fine. Since I first tried this, I've wondered if I should have used a cross-over cable, but I find that hard to accept as a problem. How could non-VPN traffic be working fine our to the internet if I needed a cross-over cable? I'm reasonably certain the interfaces on the ASA are supposed to support auto-MDIX anyway.
Anybody have an idea of where to start on this one?
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I appreciate that you seek help here but assumptions alone won't bring anyone any further.
To help us to help you: include the debugs, I mean more details than "some debug included the message internal error"
Give us details (sanitize usernames, passwords, public addresses) and logs resp. debug output.
Networks are deterministic, the art is to understand how things are determined.

How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

Folks,
I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
Regards,
Bashir Awan

Hi,
As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
Ex: in the filter you need to write :
Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
Hope this will help.
If this did't solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
Cheers,

HP Smart Web Printing Software

Is there a version of HP Smart Web Printing Software that will work with Internet Explorer 8.0? I upgraded from Internet Explorer 7.0 to 8.0 (using XP SP2), and my previous HP Web Site Add-On Version 2.15.7.0 was incompatible with IE 8.0, so I tried upgrading to HP Smart Web Printing Version 4.05. First I selected "Install Now" from the HP web site & thought the load was successful, but then I couldn't find it among installed programs on my PC. Then I selected "Download Only" from the web site, and ran the executable from my desktop, but it went into an uninstall mode and froze. I exited the program and selected the executable a 2nd time. It started to load but stopped, saying another install program was still in progress. I exited the program & rebooted the PC. I selected the executable for the 3rd time and the installation appeared to complete successfully. At least the application was listed among installed programs, but it does not appear anywhere on the IE toolbar, and I have not found any way to run the application. Is it even compatible with IE 8.0?

Then today I find an upgrade for smart web printing so it would be compatible with IE 8. I was happy again! But, alas, it will not work! It asked if I wanted to replace the program I already had. I said 'yes'. Then when it tried to install....it UN-installed! I have written to HP twice with NO response! so I did uninstall the program, then downloaded the supposedly 'upgraded' version of smart web printing again. I am unable to find the program anywhere, I only have the 'exe' program. I don't know what to do from here?? I'm ready to go back to IE 6!
I've attached a screenshot of the SWP icon, so please check if you can see it. You may have to click on the '>>' button to see more buttons, and reveal the SWP button.
@Ronalds: It's not compatible with Vista 64-bit according to the specs, but try to install it anyways and see if it works.

ASA5505 WEB FILTERING

Hi Experts,
i am going to implement a ASA5505 in one of my offices. I would like to use web filtering feature on it.
Will it cause any performance degradation in ASA? will it utilized more memory?
Thanks
Vipin

Hi,
Web filtering with Websense or blocking certain sites using MPF? In either case, only an excesive amount of traffic will cause the CPU to go high. It is really hard to calculate the amount of CPU or memory that this process may take, but I am assuming only high amount of traffic could cause a degration on the performance on the ASA.

New Web Filtering in iOS7

Apple have introduced the Web Filtering option in iOS7, but there is little informaiton out there explaining how this works. Apart from being able to turn it on, and add whitelist or blacklist sites - is there any more? How does Apple determine what content is blocked? Are there categories? Can we see them? Can we control them?
Without a bit more information on this feature and how it operates it's hard to trust it.
Does anyone have any more information on this feature?

Email?...just click on my Accout....or directly to [email protected]
Yes, we want to offer a service for customers that include a very secure server thats hosted on hosteurope.de included is a workspace for 5000min Video and a safe dedicated bandwidth up and down. Firstly there is no need to invest in new hardware or network infrastructure. The second is the security thing, we dont want the people to handle around with their open ports to the internet, because thats a huge risk for sensitive production enviromets because that might be an open door for hacker. You cannot ensure that there are always competent Admins onside.
Also the access to the server is hardly to handle with a standard DSL-Connection. What is if 10 users want to watch the same clip? Do you have a upload of min 10mbit?
And: Dontyou need a management of the users?? The Integrationsample has just none. I think thats recommendend for a review application. Appart from that you can just upload 10clips!?
Another point is the fact we love in FCsvr, updated features and bugfixes do not need to install a new version locally. So we did a lot of thinking, an come to the conclusion that thats the best. So, in case of that services we cannot offer that for free. Je decided to charge a annual fee.
The online sample of RevApp is just to try a bit around, till end of november we want to include much more features.
I am curious about that what eZ will release and how they handle the local istallation and the usermanagement...
We are also very interested in People who have a critical look on our solution an help us to improve. Ideas of future features are also very welcome.
So no offence at all, hope more people give us a feedback like you.
Greetings Jan

Global Web Filtering Options

I am looking for a global web filtering solution for our business but am having trouble finding a solution that will work acceptably for us globally.
The problem is that our campany has hundreds of very small offices (mostly only 2-3 users with the odd larger office) located in remote locations all around the world where WAN links are very expensive and slow.
We use all small office type cisco routers in our remote offices of various types (such as 800 series) and are rolling out WAAS/WAVE solutions to optimise our slow WAN links as much as possible, and all sites have site-to-site VPNs from the routers to our UK-based data centres.
Currently we use Websense configured on the local routers at a few of our offices with a regional server in places such as the UK for most of Europe, and Mobile for most of the US for example.
We could expand this to all locations, including Australasia, Middle East, Far East and Africa etc. but due to the remote locations we would need many local servers in many countries as the infrastructure to have just one regional Websense server isn't good enough in these areas and web performance would be too slow to be useable due to the latency to the Websense server location. It simply isn't financially feasible to put in hundreds of servers at lots of 2-3 man offices in the middle of no-where so I've been looking at other options.
I was hoping a hosted solution would be the answer, but I've looked at WebSense's hosted service and it doen't appear to cover all regions (just has server farms in US/Europe which is no good for Africa etc.) I've also looked at Symantec MessageLabs but this has the same problem as there is no coverage in the Middle East/Asia/Africa etc and it proxies all web traffic so performance at these sites would probably be appaling with the limited bandwidth on top of the latency to the closest MessageLabs servers.
I've now seen that Cisco have a new IOS Content Filter which uses Trend database servers. This sounded promising as it appears to cache the URL checks on the router making the server location less of an issue. But I'd still like to know where in the world they cover (I've seen reference to only 4 data centres globally). My other concern with this solution is whether it integrates into AD, so we can apply policies based on the user accounts like we do currently with the WebSense solution. The last thing is the price of this solution as it appears to be licensed based on the number of routers rather than the number of users. As our users are so spread out with only 2-3 users per router on average this is likely to mean for us this solution will be ridiculously expensive, can anyone advise if this is the case?
My question therefore is can anyone advise on a solution for this that will work with our Cisco infrastructure in all our offices without having to purchase lots of servers for remote locations? I've seen that other vendors such as the Astaro Security Gateway have web filtering built into their products without the need for external servers, but I'd prefer to stick with Cisco if at all possible.
Many thanks for any advice/help anyone can give me in this area.
Paul

Hi Paul,
IOS Content filtering is licensed on a per router basis, you are right. So, probably that would not scale for you.
Cisco has other solutions with Web Filtering and Ironport engines. The challenge in your setup is that each remote site would need to "call" to a central web filtering location that will be making the decision on allowing or no. Or you would need a service that scales well on a per contintent basis. There are some new Cisco web filtering options that could scale with servers almost everywhere in the world. But I don't think you can get a consice answer from this forum about your potential choices here.
You local Cisco team will be able to provide you with these options. You are welcome to give them my email if they need to talk to me internally.
I hope it helps a little.

Hello !
I m a netword administrator, and i have been looking how to setup web filtering in a network, we are using cisco asa 5510 as a firewall and i have been looking for a way to block url such as facebook and streaming web sites since users are allowed to access to any website and they have been downloding stuff lately and i cant controll the bandwith!!
What u guys recommand !

Hi Neji,
Here you have all the content security options available on the ASA. I think only the CX doesn't apply to your HW but the other options are available.

Web-filtering on ASA5512X

Hi,
I want to know that how we can achieve web-filtering in ASA5512-X having 9.1(2).
Can we do web-filtering by configuration or some module ?

The right way to do it is by using the FirePOWER sw-module. But limited filtering is also possible with the L7-inspection which is build into the ASA.
