Description
WatchGuard DNSWatch is a cloud-based solution that enhances security through DNS-level filtering, which helps identify and prevent potentially harmful connections while safeguarding both networks and employees from destructive attacks. Critical alerts are analyzed by WatchGuard experts, who provide clear summaries that include in-depth information regarding any potential threats. In instances where phishing is involved and an employee inadvertently clicks a malicious link, DNSWatch swiftly redirects them away from the harmful site and supplies educational resources to bolster their understanding of phishing risks. Since hackers often exploit DNS to launch attacks on unaware targets, monitoring DNS requests proves to be an effective strategy for detecting and thwarting such threats. By incorporating DNS-level filtering into the Total Security Suite, DNSWatch adds an essential layer of protection against malware infections. Additionally, attempts made by users to connect to recognized malicious DNS addresses are automatically blocked, ensuring they are redirected to a secure landing page without any disruption to their experience. This proactive approach not only defends against immediate threats but also educates users, contributing to a more security-conscious workplace.
Description
When a user attempts to visit a website on the Internet, their browser initiates a connection to that site directly or through specified proxy settings. This interaction is processed by Squid, which authenticates the requests and forwards them to a Web Safety ICAP filter, either locally or remotely hosted. Both the requests and responses are scrutinized to determine access based on established policy rules, while relevant information is logged in a database. Web Safety serves as an ICAP web filter that seamlessly integrates with the Squid proxy, enabling it to conduct URL filtering and in-depth content analysis of encrypted HTTPS traffic. This capability allows for effective blocking of explicit encrypted content, as the system performs thorough inspections of web pages, preventing access to any material that contains adult language or leads to dubious sites. Additionally, popular general-purpose websites such as Google Search, Google Images, Bing, and YouTube are also monitored, ensuring that any inappropriate content is filtered out. By implementing these measures, the system enhances online safety for users across the board.
