Chapter 2
Overview
When you first sign up for the web security service, an activation specialist will
discuss planning your deployment and will walk you through the activation
process. This process involves three phases:
• Preparing for activation: To set up your service, you must complete a few
preliminary steps before you can begin. This includes some minor
configuration changes to your internal setup to ensure that your external web
traffic passes through the web security service. See “Preparing for Activation”
on page 9.
• Installing the Connector (optional): If you are using the Filtering feature,
you may choose to install the Connector. See “Installing and Using the
Connector” on page 10.
• Activating and deploying to your enterprise: See “Activating and
Deploying to Your Enterprise” on page 12.
Preparing for Activation
Before activation begins, do the following:
1. Choose the web filtering scenario that best fits your company’s needs.
Discuss the available options with your web security service account
representative. See “Service Components” on page 8 for more information.
2. You must be a Email Security customer. If not, complete the activation and
setup of your Email Security account (see the Email Security Service
Activation Guide).
3. Be sure your account is enabled for web security.
4. Review this guide for an introduction to the service and to gain some
familiarity with the user interface of the Web Content tab.
