Censornet Solutions: Security Management in the Cloud

More and more business networks are moving to cloud applications as a platform for multiple business functions. Bring your own desk is all the rage and has proven to be very profitable. Access to the Web is essential in any environment. Information technology has been faced with the challenge of managing the security of such applications in ever-changing mobile work environments.

CensorNet combines email security, hybrid web security, a secure web gateway, and desktop monitoring to provide network security that allows a business to operate within these mobile platforms while maintaining network security and integrity. Like a traditional firewall, it offers the same benefits to protect all computers and mobile devices that would normally be protected through network security.

By using email security, the system protects users from opening messages that could be phishing emails or contain malware that would infect the user’s device. Certain content or sensitive information can also be blocked and filtered. Being this a mobile platform, it will continue to work if the traditional network server fails. This allows users to maintain the same level of security and access to information, thus maintaining productivity.

The hybrid web security feature gives IT departments a high level of control over web activity on a variety of devices. The tool allows them to run reports and analytics on users and monitor trends across devices. It is also very compatible with a mobile and desktop environment of its own, as it creates a notice on the portal that the user can accept or reject when not working on the network.

Offering the secure web gateway brings a new approach to cloud applications. Traditionally, when it comes to security and the cloud, it’s usually the option to “allow” or “block” apps. The secure web gateway allows users to work in the cloud while maintaining system security integrity by using multiple engines to continuously scan for malware and functionality issues.

Desktop monitoring allows the same traditional “view your desktop” function on multiple devices. Implementing the use of leading technology, it also collects metadata. This allows the check to search for specific things and keywords, generate usage reports, and quickly analyze productivity. It also offers monitoring to be viewed as a live video feed to enable real-time monitoring of activities.

CensorNet also offers flexibility in its monitoring capabilities. IT can customize the rules and settings for the user and therefore allow political sensitivity to play into planning and rule setting to allow flexibility for different levels of users. All settings are configured based on policies that can be customized for a single user or a group of users.

Employing the use of eight different engines for virus and worm scanning and offering multiple layers of email protection, it offers a high level of security that is necessary when considering expanding a network of users to mobile devices and allowing users to bring their own desktop computers. The program employs a “user tracking” system, making it not specific to a device, but to the user, making the transition between devices almost seamless.

In conclusion, CensorNet allows users to work on a network from multiple mobile devices while maintaining the integrity and security of the network security system. Allowing the user to switch devices and stay on the network, or choose to log in and out when they want to transition from business to personal, makes the mobile work environment doable and easy, but also enables security and monitoring to ensure safety. and business continuity.
