IOS Content Filtering/Per User & HTTPS

[BEN ROBINSON]

Hello!

We are looking at IOS content filtering for a small customer and I'm hoping that someone can answer a quick couple of questions about it.

1) Can you do per-user content filtering... so different policies for different users by username? I see you can do it by IP addy/range it appears

2) Can it do HTTPS inspection? It wasn't able to a while back, just checking to see if anything has changed!

Thank you!

1) No, IOS Content Filtering with Trend can't do per-user content filtering.

2) It can't do HTTPS inspection too.

If you would like to have both the above, you can go with ScanSafe cloud URL Filtering as well as Malware/Spyware scanning. It supports both per user content filtering as well as HTTPS inspection.

Here is the IOS guide on ScanSafe Web Filtering for your reference:

Hope this answers your questions.
