Fortinet headquartered in Sunnyvale, California offers the FortiGuard Web Filtering Service, a web content filter.
If you are well versed with servers and server security and just need a scanning tool but can do malware mitigation yourself, then you'd probably be ok with this. If you are not, there are a lot of steps to even connect your server and get it to scan correctly, and no mitigation steps are made immediately obvious should there be a threat, so it's a lot for an unfamiliar or beginner user.
FortiGuard Web Filtering Service is well-suited for an organisation that is able to funnel all its Internet connectivity through one device, i.e., the office environment - or perhaps where WFH workers are using a remote desktop or VPN. It allows management/IT to minimise risk by blocking websites that may be harmful, as well as websites that may enable data leakage, or even are websites that people ought not to be visiting in the workplace.
It provides a web application firewall (WAF) that helps to protect websites and web applications from cyber-attacks. The WAF uses advanced security rules and machine learning algorithms to identify and block malicious traffic.
Comodo cWatch helps us to comply with various security regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
Incident response services of Comodo cWatch helps us to quickly respond to security incidents. This includes a team of security experts who are available 24/7 to provide assistance in the event of a security breach.
Support is chat only and was not very easy to deal with. I had to spend hours on chat with them just to get my server connected properly. I was getting cookie cutter answers for a while before they were able to get someone more higher up to me. Didn't seem US based either.
Comodo cWatch competes with Barracuda Web security that we also used and stand out with its amazing features and solutions such as application monitoring, real time web traffic analyzing, security and policy management, early threat and detection and identifying the risk for prevention. With all these reason being handy to us we choose Comodo cWatch.
We have not looked at other web filtering solutions. We use the FortiGuard Web Filtering Service as a part of the whole UTM yearly subscription that includes AppControl, IPS/IDS among other features
