Protect Your Business Wherever Employees Browse
The internet is essential to modern business, but every website an employee visits can potentially introduce another security risk.
Phishing websites, malicious downloads, compromised domains and other online threats are designed to exploit both users and technology. Employees can also encounter inappropriate or unwanted content that has no place on a business network.
Advanced web protection adds another layer to your wider business cyber security, helping protect employees as they use the internet.
By filtering web requests and applying appropriate access policies, businesses can reduce exposure to known malicious destinations while controlling the categories of websites employees can access.
Digicomm 360 can help configure web protection around your organisation, users and working environment, giving you greater control without unnecessarily restricting legitimate business activity.
Why Use Advanced Web Protection?
Business web protection combines security, control and visibility to create a safer online environment for your employees.
Block Malicious Websites
Help prevent users from accessing known malicious, phishing or potentially dangerous online destinations.
Control Internet Access
Create web-access policies based on the requirements of your organisation and employees.
Improve Online Safety
Reduce exposure to inappropriate, unwanted or high-risk website categories while employees browse online.
Gain Greater Visibility
Use web activity reporting to understand internet usage and identify patterns that may require attention.
Advanced Web Protection Features
Web protection can provide another valuable security layer around the everyday internet activity taking place across your organisation.
Web Content Filtering
Control access to categories of websites based on your organisation’s security, operational and acceptable-use requirements.
Malicious Website Blocking
Help prevent employees from reaching known phishing sites, malicious domains and other potentially dangerous online destinations.
User & Location Policies
Where supported, apply appropriate browsing policies to different employees, teams, devices or business locations.
Web Activity Reporting
Gain greater visibility of web usage through reporting that can help identify frequently accessed destinations and usage patterns.
Real-Time Web Filtering
Evaluate web requests as users browse and apply appropriate security and access policies before allowing connections.
Policy Management
Adapt web-access rules as employees, working practices and business security requirements change.
Add Another Layer to Your Cyber Security
No single technology can protect a business from every cyber threat.
Business firewalls and network security help control network traffic. Endpoint protection helps protect individual devices. Password management strengthens account security. Web protection performs another important role by helping control where employees and devices can connect online.
This can be particularly valuable against phishing.
A convincing email may persuade an employee to follow a link to a fraudulent website designed to steal their Microsoft 365 credentials or other sensitive information. Web protection can provide another opportunity to block access to a known malicious destination before information is entered. Combining web filtering with secure business email can provide additional protection against email-based threats and malicious links.
Web filtering can also help organisations implement acceptable-use policies. Businesses can restrict categories of content that aren’t appropriate for their working environment while maintaining access to the legitimate websites employees need.
Reporting provides additional visibility into how internet resources are being used. Depending on the solution deployed, administrators may be able to review activity by user, device, location or website category.
For organisations with remote and hybrid workers, web protection can also form part of a wider strategy for protecting employees when they’re working away from the traditional office network.
The result is another practical layer of defence that works alongside your other cyber security measures rather than attempting to replace them.

Web Protection Works Best as Part of Layered Security
Advanced web protection provides an important layer of defence, but it shouldn’t operate in isolation.
A managed business firewall can help protect your wider network, while endpoint security can help identify malicious activity reaching individual devices. Strong password management and multi-factor authentication provide additional protection for employee accounts.
Email security is also particularly important. Phishing messages frequently use links to direct employees towards fraudulent websites, making secure email and web protection complementary security measures.
Technology alone isn’t enough either. Employees need to understand why suspicious links, unexpected login pages and unusual requests should be treated carefully. Cyber security awareness training can help your team recognise these threats and make safer decisions online.
For businesses working towards Cyber Essentials, web protection can complement the technical controls required by the scheme as part of a broader cyber security strategy.
Bringing these layers together helps protect your people, devices, accounts, network and data rather than relying on a single security product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is business web protection?
Business web protection uses filtering and security controls to help prevent employees and devices from accessing malicious, inappropriate or restricted online content. It can also provide organisations with greater control and visibility over internet usage.
What is web filtering?
Web filtering controls access to websites or categories of online content according to predefined security and acceptable-use policies. For example, organisations may block known malicious websites or restrict categories of content that aren’t appropriate for the workplace.
Can web protection help prevent phishing?
Web protection can help reduce the risk of users reaching known phishing and malicious websites. However, no security measure can prevent every phishing attack, which is why web filtering should be combined with email security, employee awareness and other cyber security controls.
Do I still need antivirus and a firewall if I have web protection?
Yes. Web protection, endpoint security and firewalls perform different roles. Using multiple appropriate security controls creates layers of protection across your devices, network, accounts and internet activity.
