Mobile device filtering
With telecommuting becoming more viable for organizations and the widespread availability of Wi-Fi hotspots for business travellers, ensuring that Web access complies with your organization's Acceptable Use Policy is now essential. Bloxx Mobile Device Filtering – comprising an intelligent client application and a Bloxx Web Filter - ensures that Web access for telecommuters or business travellers can be managed effectively with minimal effort.
Ensuring that your telecommuters' or business travellers' Web access meets your organization's Acceptable Use Policy and that Web security threats are minimized is now a critical activity. Bloxx Mobile Device Filtering allows you to ensure that any Web access by remote users is managed effectively.
Ensure compliance to your AUP for remote users
All Web browsing is forced through the Bloxx Web Filter ensuring that your organization's filtering policies are being enforced for users who may be working from home or travelling on business and accessing the Internet through a public Wi-Fi hotspot. By locking down the user's browser settings you can ensure that users cannot change settings to allow unfiltered access.
Increase Wi-Fi hotspot availability
The Bloxx Intelligent Filtering Client ensures that you don't need to manually create and maintain an allow list for Wi-Fi hotspots. This means your users will automatically have safe and filtered access to the vast majority of public hotspots.
Increase Web security
All Web requests are scanned for malware, spyware and phishing by the Bloxx Web Filter, minimizing risks for your users and your network.
Reduce IT management time
Once you have installed the remote client and configured the client computers, minimal ongoing management is required. If you choose to deploy a separate Web Filter to deal with mobile device requests, you can cluster this to your main appliance to simplify policy management, reporting and so on.
How it operates
The Bloxx Intelligent Remote Filtering Client locks down Web access to a company's filtering policy by forcing Web requests to be made directly through the Bloxx Web filter. The application also ensures that Web access continues to be filtered even when a user is accessing the Web through a public Wi-Fi hotspot and uniquely solves the problem of IT managers having to manually maintain an allow list of Wi-Fi providers on each laptop or desktop computer. Without this, users would either be denied access to the Internet or allowed unfiltered access.
