Introduction
- Cloud Shield protects against phishing, malware and unwanted websites by automatically blocking harmful domains
- Centralised distribution via MDM ensures that all company smartphones are uniformly protected and that company guidelines for secure Internet use are adhered to
- At the same time, tracking and data theft are reduced while connection speed remains optimised
- In addition, external devices that are not managed in the Unified Security Portal can be protected by manual configuration
- Securepoint Cloud Shield routes all DNS queries from the devices via our own secure servers, which block suspicious or malicious domains using regularly updated filter lists
- The queries are encrypted (DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS) to prevent manipulation and eavesdropping attempts
- Unauthorised content is filtered by denying access to the corresponding IP addresses and displaying a block page
The Securepoint Cloud Shield can be used on almost any device. For mobile use, there are apps developed by Securepoint itself, one for Android Link to the wiki article) and one for iOS Link to the wiki article)
