As your IT Service provider, our priority is to ensure the security of your business and employees against cyber threats.
Through the introduction of our AgileSolutions SECURE and BUSINESS365 packages we work towards providing your business with the right tools and protection as a standard to our managed service solutions.
A key factor to this is DNS Filtering which is one of the most highly effective and simple solutions to deploy within your business.
WHAT IS DNS FILTERING?
DNS filtering used by Agile IT is cloud-based, AI-driven content filtering and threat protection service, that can be deployed and configured in minutes, with no software installation necessary. DNS filtering is a technique that uses the Domain Name System (DNS), which is like the phonebook of the internet, to block access to dangerous or unwanted websites and filter out harmful content. This means that any attempts to access malicious sites will be prevented and diverted before they can even reach your network, protecting your company’s data from cyber threats such as phishing attacks.
DNS FILTERING BENEFITS
-Stop threats before they hit your network
–Granular control?over how your network and devices are used
-Insight into what types of threats might impact your network
–Increased productivity?by blocking time-waster sites
-User-level reporting on sites and apps used by employees
-Meet compliance requirements?around dns filtering protection
By implementing DNS filtering, your company can have greater control over what your employees can access on your company-managed networks, thus reducing the risk of cyber-attacks from within your organization and on company operated devices.
Our team has the expertise, and we utilise the tool dnsfilter to provide DNS filtering services for your business. We can help you block illegitimate IP addresses and domains by leveraging the capabilities of the DNS filtering system, which can recognize and filter out malicious websites before they can cause any damage. DNS filtering is also one of the mitigation strategies recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) as part of the Essential Eight Maturity Model to reduce the risk of misuse of domains and associated resources, and to improve the security of DNS infrastructure
It is crucial to have robust security measures in place to protect your business against cyber threats. One of the strategies we are deploying for our Managed Services clients is DNS filtering as an essential part of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that can help protect your business from cyber attacks.
