A company is implementing a web content filtering solution to prevent employees from accessing undesirable websites during work hours. What is the BEST approach that the company should employ to ensure maximum effectiveness of the filtering solution?
Distributing client-side browser extensions to categorize and block content
Implementing a centralized proxy for content categorization and filtering
Depending on employees to self-categorize and avoid undesired content
Using a localized hosts file on each computer to block specific website IPs
The correct answer is Implementing a centralized proxy for content categorization and filtering. This method is most effective as it centralizes the control over internet traffic, allowing the organization to maintain comprehensive oversight over web content access. A centralized proxy can analyze and categorize content dynamically, applying company-wide controls and filters based on the established policy. Other methods, like client-side scripting or relying solely on client configurations, do not offer the same level of centralized control and may be bypassed or require extensive individual configuration management.
