PolicyFilter (Mobile Web)
As subscribers demand broader content from the mobile internet, operators are forced to open access outside of their network. However, with under 18’s being the growth market for new connections and mobile content revenues, operators are increasingly expected to protect vulnerable users, such as children, from the inappropriate or offensive content that may be found including chat, diet and hate sites; and from infringement of their privacy.
By implementing the AdaptiveMobile PolicyFilter (Mobile Web), operators are able to:
-
Block access to websites for specific groups, such as kids, based upon content policies that have been defined specifically for each of those groups;
-
Redirect blocked requests to other websites that will inform the user of why their access is being blocked and providing instructions about what can be done to regain access to blocked content;
-
Allowing adult subscribers to opt-out of filtering if they are willing to go through an age verification process;
-
Provide parents with the tools to determine the freedom of access they wish for their children;
-
Provide corporate customers with the ability to set and monitor Acceptable Use Policies, and manage enterprise mobility.
The PolicyFilter (Mobile Web) contains an optimized filtering engine which can check content against a number of third party URL categorization databases (including Websense, Symantec, SurfControl, Rulespace), security / anti-phishing sites (Websense, Google) as well as provide support for multiple subscriber data stores (Oracle, LDAP and more).
