What is N-able DNS Filtering?

Take proactive measures to defend against the growing number of harmful websites and malicious ads that surface every day by implementing N‑able™ DNS Filtering. This innovative solution enhances security, improves network visibility, and offers user-specific reporting, all conveniently accessible through the N‑able N-central® dashboard. As new threats emerge, including zero-day vulnerabilities, ransomware, and fileless malware, traditional web content filters frequently prove inadequate, creating gaps in security. With a significant number of MSP clients operating remotely, the risk of encountering security threats has greatly increased. The surge in aggressive phishing attempts, ransomware attacks, and malware highlights the urgent need for more sophisticated tools to effectively address these challenges. Technicians often face the inconvenience of navigating multiple screens to access different client dashboards, emphasizing the importance of a streamlined solution. By integrating security products into a single platform, the potential for errors can be greatly reduced. Moreover, the fast-paced evolution of malicious sites and cyber threats has led MSPs to recognize the critical importance of enhancing client visibility regarding security protocols. Ultimately, delivering clear and transparent reporting on protection levels not only strengthens client relationships but also instills a greater sense of security and trust in the services provided. Enhanced communication about security measures can lead to a more informed client base that appreciates the efforts taken to protect their interests.

What is Control D?

This capability not only enhances security but also empowers users to tailor their online experience according to their preferences.
