One of the more common ways for an attacker to launch a cyber attack on a business is by targeting employees through the applications and websites that they browse while on the company network. If you are not in control of what your employees are accessing while online, you are open to potential risks.
Web filtering is an effective way to restrict users from visiting inappropriate or potentially harmful websites, content or applications.
With Penta’s web and application filtering product, you can take full control of your organization’s internet traffic. You decide what websites, services and applications are needed to run your business properly, and which have the potential to expose your business to botnets, ransomware, data leaks and any other type of dangerous internet activity.
Penta’s web filtering service provides comprehensive threat protection to tackle common threats like credential theft, ransomware and phishing. By controlling access you also gain control of your internet usage so you can ensure available bandwidth is used for business operations.
