domain filtering

---

Cyber Smart Domain Filtering restricts access to specific domains to prevent users from accessing harmful or inappropriate content. For example, if a user clicks a malicious link from their desktop, the attempted connection would be stopped. Here is how our domain filtering works:

• DNS Level Filtering: Operates at the DNS (Domain Name System) level by intercepting requests to resolve domain names. Blocks or allows access to domains based on policies set be administrators.
• Category-Based Filtering: Blocks domains by category (e.g., adult content, gambling, social media) to enforce organizational policies or compliance requirements.
• Blacklists: Block access to domains known for malware, phishing, or scams. These lists are dynamically updated to counter emerging threats. 
• Whitelists: Permit access only to pre-approved domains, common in high-security environments. 
• Threat Intelligence Integration: Uses real-time security feeds to block domains associated with phishing, malware, or other cyber threats.
• Policy-Based Access Control: Creates custom rules based on user groups, departments, or locations. Allows flexible policies (e.g., IT Teams can access more websites than other employees).
• Logging & Reporting: Provides detailed logs of attempted access to blocked websites. Generates reports for compliance, security audits, and employee monitoring.
• Encrypted Traffic Inspection (SSL/TLS filtering): Scans encrypted HTTPS traffic to detect hidden threats. Ensures that users don't bypass security controls using VPNs or proxies.
• Cloud & On-Premise Deployment: Available as cloud-based or on-premises and works across different networks (corporate offices, remote workers, and branch locations)
