DNS Filtering

DNS filtering is like having a guardian for your internet connection. We check to make sure a website is known to be safe website, and alert you if it is not. Every website you visit on the internet has a unique address, just like every book in the library has a location on its shelf. These addresses are called "domain names" (like www.example.com).

When you want to visit a website, your computer asks a special helper called DNS (Domain Name System) to find the address of that website. It's like asking the librarian where a book is located in the library.

DNS filtering is when someone sets up rules for the DNS. These rules are like telling the librarian to only allow certain books in the library (safe) and block others (might contain a virus or be run by a hacker). It’s a way to control what websites you can or can't access and keep you safe online by blocking harmful or inappropriate websites. It's a tool to make sure your internet experience is secure.

Secure Authentication

If you kept a personal diary, you could keep others from reading it by putting a lock on it. But this lock would need a unique key to open it, and only you should have that key. In the digital world, secure authentication is a bit like that diary lock and key. It's a way to make sure that when you use your computer, phone, or any online account, it's really you and not someone pretending to be you.

Think of your username (often but not always an email address) as your name on the diary. It tells the system who you are.

Your password is your unique key, like the one for your diary lock. You create a password that only you know. It's a secret code that proves you're you.

MFA

Sometimes, just a password isn't enough. Like having a second key to your diary, some systems use MFA, or multi-factor authentication. This could be a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan. There are other MFA methods. MFA adds an extra layer of security by adding an additional method to identify that you are YOU.

Password Manager

Your passwords are supposed to be complex and difficult or impossible to guess. Remembering all of the usernames and passwords, or credentials, is not feasible. Instead, the use of a password manager can remember those passwords for you. Then you only have to remember ONE password, which is the password manager log in. You don't have to write down your information on sticky notes or use the same easy-to-guess key for every account. Your password manager creates and stores complex and unique keys for each account, which makes it much harder for bad guys to break in.

Our password manager keeps all your passwords locked up in a virtual vault. This vault is super secure, like a safe in a bank. It uses strong encryption, which makes the data unusable to anyone but you. You can use your password manager on your computer or your Android or Apple device, so you can log into your accounts no matter where you are. And, password manager can automatically fill in your credentials at certain websites.

EDR

EDR is Endpoint Detection and Response. EDR is like a detective that's always watching over your computer. Its job is to keep your device safe from bad stuff. Just like a detective notices strange or suspicious things happening in a neighborhood, EDR watches your device for any unusual or suspicious activities. This could be things like someone trying to break in, like a hacker.

When EDR sees something fishy, it doesn't just ignore it. It investigates, like a detective would. If it finds something that looks dangerous, it raises an alert. It's like your security alarm going off when someone tries to break into your house. This information can help figure out what went wrong and how to stop it from happening again.

If EDR discovers a real threat, it doesn't just sit around. It takes action to stop the bad stuff in its tracks. It's like a detective calling the police to catch a thief. It’s like having a personal security guard for your computer, looking out for anything suspicious and making sure your device stays safe from cyber threats.

SIEM and XDR

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a security command center for your digital world.

A SIEM gathers information from all your digital devices and systems, like your computer and servers. Just like a team of security experts, a SIEM looks at all the information it collects. It checks for any unusual or suspicious activities. If someone tries to break into your systems, a SIEM notices and sends you an alert. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) will also get an alert. Together, the SIEM and the SOC team will stop the activity or take other actions to prevent something bad from happening to your systems.

A SIEM also keeps records of everything that happens, like a logbook for your digital activities. This is useful for finding out what went wrong if there's a security problem, and unlike a human, a SIEM watches over your systems 24x7x365 and sees what humans might never notice.

XDR, or Extended Detection and Response is like the next level of digital security. XDR goes beyond just your devices and systems. It looks at a bigger picture. It's like having a detective who doesn't just focus on one part of a case but connects all the dots and understands the context. For example, if it sees someone trying to break into your digital "house" and notices unusual activity on your bank account at the same time, it knows there might be a bigger problem because it can connect the information to understand the bigger picture.

XDR can take action on its own to stop a threat. It's like having a superhero who jumps into action when there's danger, even before you get an alert. XDR is also smart and learns over time. It adapts to new types of threats, just like how you learn to recognize different signs of trouble in your neighborhood. It also learns what is normal and abnormal behavior from your users, so it’s easier to spot problems.

Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness Training is like attending a workshop where you learn how to stay safe in the online world. It's similar to a class that teaches you how to use the internet safely, just like you learn road safety rules. It’s also a requirement for most regulatory compliance like PCI, HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, etc. and many organizations require cybersecurity training as part of their company policy.

Our Security Awareness training will teach you to you learn how to recognize digital dangers and spot warning signs. You'll know what to avoid and what to be cautious about. Training helps you to protect your company and personal information, like your passwords and private data. You also learn how spot scams and phishing emails and become a bit of a digital detective by knowing what to do if something seems suspicious.

Compliance Reporting

Compliance Management and Reporting is important, and time consuming. If you need to report to a regulatory agency, auditor, or governing body, keeping track of compliance is crucial. Reporting also helps you make sure you’re following up with tasks you need to complete to remain in compliance.

Our compliance module produces a report you can review to be sure your are on track with coming into or remaining compliant to those regulatory bodies that govern your business, without the additional and expensive cost of hiring an outside auditor.
