The first application is the web filter that is used to block users' access to certain websites based on their category (social networking, games, and so on).

The third application is Application Control, which is used to block users from using certain applications and protocols (BitTorrent and Facebook games, for example).
The same method that was used to explain the applications in the previous chapters will be used here; we will first introduce the application, cover how it works and any related technical details, discuss how we can review the event logs, and finally provide lab-based training. The topics that will be covered in this chapter are:
