We’ve got antivirus already, why would we need web protection?

Antivirus will block straight forward malicious downloads, but not other web based threats like phishing websites or sites that exploit bugs in your web browser.

Web protection has many other benefits

• Protect your organization from malware, phishing, adware, botnets etc by blocking all sites below a reputation threshold
• Avoid expensive HR issues by blocking questionable sites, such as pornography, hate crime, drug abuse, violence, gambling etc
• Increase profit by restricting access to unproductive sites, such as Facebook or Netflix during business hours.
• Prevent GDPR breaches by blocking unapproved file sharing sites
• Block or unblock specific websites that fall outside any of the above categories

Engage telanova as your IT team and we’ll implement security strategies appropriate for your organization.
