Sophos UTM Dynamic Content Scanning

[ReBoot]

Been having a look at the Sophos UTM as a possible candidate for a replacement webfilter/firewall for a pimary school.

 

Have setup the free home edition as a test environment and pleased to see it even includes AD integration which I have working.

 

My question is that the webfilter appears to be primarily a URL filter and does not scan pages for words/phrases which may indicate inappropriate content. It does scan pages/downloads for malicious software/viruses but this is a different thing.

 

Filters such as Smoothwall, E2guardian, Diladele do include word/phrase based Dynamic Content Scanning which is an important element of filtering.

 

Can anyone with more knowledge of the UTM confirm or inform me otherwise of its capabilities for content scanning.

 

Thanks

If anyone's interested I have got a definitive answer on this which is that Sophos web filtering does not include dynamic content filtering using word lists associated with inappropriate or illegal activity.

Sophos XG doesn't either. That's one of the features I miss from our Smoothwall proxy (along with regular expression support).
