About the DNS Filter Page
DNS filtering is the process of using the Domain Name System (DNS) to block malicious websites and filter out harmful or inappropriate content. This helps to ensures the data remains secure and allows you to have control over what you can access on company-managed networks.
Security Director enables you to configure, create and manage the DNS Filter policies for devices.
To access the DNS Filter page, click Configure> Firewall Policy> DNS Filter.
