Example implementations include category-based filtering, reputation-based filtering, or through the use of block lists. 9.3: Maintain and Enforce Network-Based URL FiltersĮnforce and update network-based URL filters to limit an enterprise asset from connecting to potentially malicious or unapproved websites. Use DNS filtering services on all enterprise assets to block access to known malicious domains. Subcontrols 9.1: Ensure Use of Only Fully Supported Browsers and Email ClientsĮnsure only fully supported browsers and email clients are allowed to execute in the enterprise, only using the latest version of browsers and email clients provided through the vendor.
