LANCOM Security Essentials Option
Network security from the cloud
The LANCOM Security Essentials Option provides an efficient and reliable solution to protect networks against threats such as ransomware, phishing, malware, and credential theft. The integrated Content Filter effectively blocks unwanted and illegal internet content – preserving corporate integrity and significantly reducing liability risks. At the same time, the BPjM module of the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BzKJ) reliably shields minors from harmful content. The underlying database used to verify website content is hosted in a GDPR-compliant cloud provided by European security specialist Bitdefender. For maximum scalability, use of the option is not limited to a specific number of users – making it ideal for growing networks.
Note: The LANCOM Security Essentials Option is available as an upgrade for LANCOM SD-WAN Gateways, SD-WAN Central Site Gateways, and WLAN controllers as the successor product to the LANCOM Content Filter and LANCOM BPjM Filter. The upcoming firmware version LCOS 10.92 is required to operate the software version.
The security upgrade for business networks
With the LANCOM Security Essentials Option, your network bandwidth is fully reserved for business operations. Websites containing spyware, phishing, viruses, and other threats are reliably blocked using a powerful, database-driven web filtering technology. The requested web content is checked online via a trusted rating server operated by the European security specialist Bitdefender. Administrators can freely define which thematic categories are blocked or allowed. Four preconfigured security profiles enable quick and efficient implementation.
Flexible Content Filter rules and custom configuration
The LANCOM Security Essentials Option allows for granular control of Internet access. Category-based filtering rules can be defined for various types of content such as criminal, pornographic, or violent websites. These rules are fully customizable and can be selectively overridden using the integrated override function.
Comprehensive protection against harmful content for minors
The integrated BPjM module from the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BzKJ) ensures that harmful media is reliably blocked. This is based on an official and continuously updated website list issued by the BzKJ, providing maximum protection for minors in schools, youth centers, or at home.
Individual, time- and profile-based configuration
Internet access rights can be flexibly configured with the LANCOM Security Essentials Option. For instance, specific content may be made accessible during lunch breaks while being restricted during core business hours. User-dependent profiles can also be set up to selectively permit access to business-relevant websites.
Comprehensive statistics for full control
The LANCOM Security Essentials Option delivers detailed statistics on Internet usage, including category-based analysis. For example, top-10 lists of blocked and allowed website access can be generated for a configurable time frame. All statistics are anonymized to comply with data protection regulations.
