IE has the design feature to split the network into four zones: Intranet, Trusted Sites, Internet, and Restricted. Of these, the two most important for UTM are Trusted Sites and Internet. (I assume that if a site needs to be restricted, it will simply be blocked completely in UTM.) In IE, the Trusted Site Zone enables a raft of features which are not enabled for the default Internet Zone. Except for features like ActiveX that are specific to IE, this distinction has limited security benefit because other browsers do not have the zone concept and therefore enable all features equally.
It occurs to me that UTM could emulate the Trusted Sites feature for other browsers fairly easily. Simply paste the Trusted Sites list into a WebSite exception, to apply a TrustedZone tag (leaving the Category and Reputation unaltered).
Has anyone done something like this? If so, what UTM features have you implemented differently between the TrustedZone and the default zone?
