Implementing protective filtering is essential for ensuring security, visibility, privacy, and control over internet interactions. By effectively reducing risks, organizations can enhance both safety and productivity while navigating the web. In today's digital landscape, businesses require comprehensive management to safeguard their internet traffic, ensuring it remains secure, private, and transparent. The existing domain name system (DNS) primarily serves to resolve internet requests via a worldwide network of servers, translating those requests into distinct Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. However, this crucial service was not originally built with security as a priority, leading to numerous exploits and vulnerabilities within the DNS framework. Organizations can leverage protective DNS services, such as Webroot® DNS Protection, to gain greater control over their networks while ensuring the necessary security, privacy, and visibility for their IT infrastructure and users, including those operating remotely. This solution's main objective is to establish a robust, private, and manageable connection to the internet. Additionally, automated filtering powered by Webroot BrightCloud® Internet Threat Intelligence effectively blocks harmful requests, further enhancing the protection of online activities. As a result, businesses can confidently navigate the complexities of the internet with a fortified defense against potential threats.
