What type of policies does Device OS-based control in URL Filtering provide?

The correct answer pertains to access control that utilizes the operating systems of endpoints. Device OS-based control in URL Filtering specifically allows organizations to set policies that determine which URLs can be accessed based on the operating system running on a user's device. This capability is particularly important for enforcing security policies, ensuring that only trusted operating systems are allowed to access certain resources or web content.

For example, if an organization wants to restrict access to specific applications or websites to only those devices running a particular operating system—such as the latest secure version of Windows, macOS, or a specific version of a mobile OS—it can create policies that allow or block access accordingly.

This approach adds a layer of security and compliance to the organization's network, where different operating systems may present varying levels of risk. In this context, the device's operating system becomes a critical factor in determining access rights, making the option that identifies access control based on supported operating systems the correct choice.
