Content Filtering Overview

Content filtering determines the file type based on the file content and not based on the file extensions. The content filtering analyzes the file content to accurately determine the file type. Juniper Secure Edge filters the content based on the file type, application, and direction.

Note:

The content filtering evaluates traffic before all other content security policies. Therefore, if traffic meets criteria configured in the content filter, the content filter acts first upon this traffic.

Use the Content Filtering page to view and to manage content filtering policies. To access the page, click Secure Edge > Content Filtering.
