The Security and Privacy Settings page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you manage your security zones, privacy settings, and content ratings. These settings help restrict the types of content your employees can access from the Internet, including any content that might be considered offensive or otherwise inappropriate in a corporate setting.

      Note
      To change your settings, click Modify Settings to open the Internet Properties box, and then click the Security and Privacy tabs to make your changes.
