Concern about internet security

Before looking for Lumiun, Celso had concerns regarding the company's internet security, due to news and reports of companies that suffered cyber attacks and had their data hijacked.

“I looked for Lumiun mainly for data security . I have already witnessed virtual attacks on companies close to mine. At Percont we are very concerned about maintaining the greatest possible security for our clients’ data and information”, reports Celso, partner at the Percont Office.

How did the office increase the company's internet security?

With the implementation of Lumiun on the office network, Celso had several tools to use in favor of the company's internet security, which was his main concern. See below some tools that the Percont office uses in its day-to-day work.

Internet Access Control

Through Lumiun Internet Access Control, you can:

• Filter internet content
• Block unwanted websites that take up employee time
• Avoid access to harmful websites (Phishing and online fraud, Malware, etc.)
• Monitor all access through real-time reports

This is one of the most used features on the office network. We know that the main reason for cyber attacks in companies comes from improper access, false emails and misleading advertisements that unprepared and unaware employees end up falling for.

With Lumiun's internet access control, inappropriate access was blocked, and as a bonus, the productivity of the company's employees was improved, preventing access to websites outside the scope of work during working hours.

Lumiun Firewall

The Lumiun Firewall is a security device that controls traffic between the company's network and the internet based on protocols, services, ports, source and destination IP addresses.

Basically, Lumiun identifies possible unauthorized access ports on devices and equipment connected to the company's internet, and filters traffic through these ports, protecting any attempted cyber attack, protecting users and company data.
