Athena SWG (formerly Internet Access Gateway) ensures visibility and control across the network, detecting risks like unauthorized access, non-compliant activities, and data leaks to manage endpoints.
Web Access specifies whether to disallow accessing websites using IP addresses, allow resources with external domain names on webpages, and disable forbidden webpages during URL filter permission control policies matching.
Not allow visit to website with IP address, exclusive of those in URL database: An intranet user cannot access a website using its IP address unless the IP address is included in the URL library.
Allow visit to links on webpage: When a user accesses a webpage, some resources (such as advertisements and images) in the webpage may have external domain names. Policies may reject these resources because their URLs are inconsistent with the domain names of the webpage. As a result, the webpage may not be displayed completely. In this case, you can select this option to display the resources when the web page's domain name is accessible.
Disable Access Denied webpage: When a user attempts to access a forbidden webpage, the access is denied and will notify the user that the page cannot be accessed.
Enable redirection for rejected HTTPS traffic: Enable the HTTPS redirection function. The redirect page can be displayed when you set deny HTTPS traffic at Online Activities > Access Control.
