Cloud-based Internet Security and Web Filtering Solution for MSPs

Web Filtering Solution for MSPs

Remote workplace trend is getting the upper hand in 2022. A recent survey by IWG (the International Workplace Group) determined that 70% of the world’s professionals work remotely at least one day a week, with 53% based outside their workplace at least half of the week.

Taking this into consideration, organizations have started looking for reliable partners that can deliver services and support consistently, for example, to install new hybrid infrastructure solutions while trusting them with the everyday functioning of their IT.

So far, MSPs have been meeting this demand by offering multiple solutions that help employees work remotely without any problems.

What are the main cybersecurity solutions remote workers need?

  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Virtual Private Network
  • DNS Filtering to secure DNS traffic

Why is a web filtering important and what are the main features necessary for MSPs?

Managed service providers have been struggling with finding the right web filtering solutions. Today, the market is flooded with options, and each promises a great deal of features. However, most of those stay on a roadmap without moving forward and coming to life.

Web filtering is necessary for businesses because it prevents the staff from accessing malicious and harmful content while using the corporate network or while working from home, besides offering other advantages like monitoring their performance and keeping it to the maximum to ensure productivity.

Web filtering solutions come with many features such as threat intelligence, pre-defined categories, filter per policy (profile), and monitoring. However, not all providers offer these options with them being of good quality.

SafeDNS, a cloud-based solution for web-content filtering that uses artificial intelligence to fight cyber threats, have constantly been improving those features while providing others that serve MSPs directly. SafeDNS offers a special admin dashboard – that can be fully white-labeled – mainly developed for MSPs to create and modify filtering plans for their clients.

The MSP admin panel comes with an API for their integrations along with manuals and 24/7 friendly support that is ready to assist you with all kinds…

Privacy vs. Security: Is Your Bot Mitigation Solution Effective in the Wake of Web Privacy Trends?

/in


Bad Bots Disguise as Humans to Bypass Detection

Bot mitigation providers place significant emphasis on stopping bots with the highest degree of accuracy. After all, it only takes a small number of bad bots to get through your defenses to wreak havoc on your online businesses. One challenge of stopping bad bots is keeping false positives to a minimum (where a human is incorrectly categorized as a bot).

The more aggressively rules are tuned within a bot mitigation solution, the more susceptible the solution becomes to false positives because it needs to decide whether to grant requests for indeterminate risk scores. As a result, real users are inadvertently blocked from websites and/or being served CAPTCHAs to validate they are indeed humans. This inevitably creates a poor user experience and lowers online conversions.

Much of the ongoing innovation in modern bot mitigation solutions has been a reaction to increasing sophistication of the adversary. The fact that bad bots increasingly look like humans and act like humans in an attempt to evade detection makes it more difficult to rely on rules, behaviors, and risk scores for decisioning – making false positives more pronounced.

Humans Now Disguising Themselves for Privacy

A more recent trend is exacerbating false positives, and without proper innovation, it renders legacy rule and risk-score dependent bot mitigation solutions inadequate. It results from the accelerating trends related to humans taking action towards more privacy on the Internet. Ironically, the move towards more privacy on the web can actually compromise security by making it even more difficult to distinguish between humans and bots. 

To understand why it’s essential to know how the majority of bot detection techniques work. They rely heavily on device fingerprinting to analyze device attributes and bad behavior. Device fingerprinting is performed client-side and collects information such as IP address, user agent header, advanced device attributes (e.g. hardware imperfections), and cookie identifiers. Over the years, the information collected from the device fingerprint has become a major determinant for analytics engines used to whether the request is bot…
