Problem

Security teams need predictable control over app and web usage to reduce policy bypass and data-risk exposure.

Benefits

You can enforce policy decisions consistently with SafeSquid while preserving legitimate business workflows.

Advantages

You keep actionable policy control close to operations, with verifiable outcomes in logs and policy behavior.

Call to action

Use the steps in this guide to implement the control, then validate behavior with a real user-flow test.

Allow one Facebook page and block the rest

Many organizations block Facebook but need to allow a specific page (e.g. company page). SafeSquid SWG can allow a particular page for selected groups (e.g. social media team), partial or read-only for others, and by time of day. In the example below, only the SafeSquid page is allowed; other pages show a block template.

Prerequisites

HTTPS Inspection should be enabled in SafeSquid. If not enabled, refer to the document - How to enable HTTPS Inspection.
