Smart Technologies of Florida, a company based in Daytona Beach, is rolling out a browser security solution designed to dramatically reduce cybersecurity risks with its advanced managed browser security.
According to a press release, Smart Technologies’s “safe browsing” experience gives organizations the ability to proactively block malicious content, phishing sites, and harmful web destinations before they reach employees. Strict filtering enables employees to freely utilize the power of the internet, artificial intelligence and key software without incurring unnecessary organizational risk.
“The web browser is the most used and most vulnerable tool in any organization,” said Robert Doucette, president at Smart Technologies. “While phishing emails are sometimes easier to detect, this technology allows us to protect our clients from the vast majority of web-based threats without relying on every individual employee to make the right call every single time.”
Domain Name System (DNS) filters out dangerous websites, downloads, and suspicious content. The technology also helps with password management and credential safety, distraction reduction and productivity, the press release states.
“You can’t rely on employee training alone to prevent every mistake,” Doucette said. “While education is also necessary, we’ve seen that the most effective security should be automatic, non-invasive, and effective. That’s what we’re offering our clients now—a tool that protects their business without slowing them down.”
