High-Performance Filtering
Allot’s powerful filtering mechanism introduces no delay in processing Internet requests, ensuring no impact on subscriber experience. Automated online updates to URL blacklists are propagated immediately to enforcement elements.
Easy Blacklist Integration
Allot ContentProtector is fully integrated with the official blacklist of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and its automated update mechanisms. Allot also enables fast integration of any blacklist or regulatory body.
Visibility and Reporting
A unified management console monitors and manages illegal content filtering across your entire network and provides detailed reports of filtering events. Real-time alerts notify you when content has been blocked. Affected subscribers may also receive notification and/or redirection to a captive portal.
Deployment:
Router-Based Filtering
Allot ContentProtector utilizes your existing router infrastructure to create content filter nodes that operate independently throughout your network. BGP routing logic is used to balance the traffic load while blacklisted URLs and DNS resolutions are distributed to each node in real-time. Blacklists may be applied to all users or to select target groups, allowing you to provide service to different countries or regions and to comply with their respective regulations.
Gateway-Based Filtering
Another deployment option is to simply activate the ContentProtector module in your Allot Service Gateway or Allot NetEnforcer platform to monitor all network traffic and to block access to blacklisted URLs. You may also display a customized information page to blocked users and redirect them to a captive portal. Works in harmony with other integrated services in Allot unified platforms.
