Granular Filtering

The most advanced and flexible filter customization

The Problem

What is Granular Filtering and why does it matter?

The modern web is made up of hundreds of millions of active websites, with hundreds of thousands of new domains created every day. These websites vary widely in purpose, content, and risk level—from clearly malicious domains to legitimate platforms that may still be inappropriate or distracting in certain contexts. Granular Filtering enables organizations to precisely control web access by categorizing domains and applying differentiated filtering policies. Powered by advanced DNS intelligence and machine learning, FlashStart continuously analyzes and classifies websites, allowing administrators to tailor browsing rules to specific needs while maintaining security, productivity, and compliance.

Granular filtering for education and enterprise environments

Granular filtering enables schools, enterprises, and MSPs to apply web access policies that adapt to different users, roles, and contexts. In educational environments, it allows administrators to protect students from inappropriate content while ensuring access to age-appropriate learning resources, with separate rules for students, teachers, and staff. In corporate and managed service environments, granular filtering supports productivity and compliance by tailoring browsing rules to departments or business roles, ensuring that access to online resources aligns with operational needs. Through centralized management and identity-based integration, organizations can enforce consistent, role-based policies across multiple users and locations with minimal administrative effort.
