Concern about internet security
Before seeking out Lumiun, Celso had concerns related to the company's internet security, due to news and reports of companies that suffered cyberattacks and had their data hijacked.
"I approached Lumiun primarily for data security . I've witnessed cyberattacks at companies close to mine. At Percont, we're deeply committed to maintaining the highest possible security for our clients' data and information," says Celso, a partner at Percont.
How has the office increased the company's internet security?
With the implementation of Lumiun on the office network, Celso had several tools at his disposal to enhance the company's internet security, which was his main concern. Below are some of the tools that the Percont office uses in its daily work.
Internet Access Control
Through Lumiun's Internet Access Control, it is possible to:
- Filter internet content
- Block unwanted websites that waste employees' time
- Avoid accessing harmful websites (Phishing and online fraud, Malware, etc.)
- Track all access through real-time reports
- Increase employee productivity
This is one of the most used features on the office network. We know that the main reason for cyberattacks on companies comes from unauthorized access, fake emails, and misleading advertisements that unprepared and uninformed employees end up falling for.
With Lumiun's internet access control, unauthorized access was blocked, and as a bonus, employee productivity improved by preventing access to websites outside the scope of work during working hours.
Firewall Lumiun
The Lumiun Firewall is a security device that controls traffic between the company network and the internet based on protocols, services, ports, and source and destination IP addresses.
Basically, Lumiun identifies potential unauthorized access points on devices and equipment connected to the company's internet, and filters traffic through these points, protecting against any attempted cyberattack and safeguarding users and company data.
With a simple and quick deployment, the Lumiun Firewall protects your company against internet attacks such as viruses and ransomware. Among the main benefits of using the Lumiun Firewall are:
- Protection against external attacks: Increases the security of the IP network and protects equipment against internet threats.
- Virus and Ransomware Prevention: An additional layer of protection against cyberattacks.
- Real-time reports: Easy-to-view and filter logs, identifying allowed and blocked connections.
In addition to attacks stemming from unauthorized clicks and access, there are several types of attacks that directly target the company's systems, devices, and servers. With Lumiun's Firewall, the accounting firm remained protected against these cyberattacks, adding an extra layer to the company's internet security.
Internet security in 20 minutes
What must have caught your attention in the article's title is the 20 minutes, right? Well, that's actually true.
The process of installing Lumiun on the company network takes an average of 20 minutes. It only requires connecting two network cables to the Lumiun Box, a few clicks on the cloud control panel, and that's it – the company's internet network now has an extra layer of protection.
The panel is intuitive, and in just a few clicks you can define specific access rules and blocks, for example.
