A security layer on your internet connection that blocks threats before they ever reach a computer in your building. Serving businesses in Aylesbury and across the UK - get a free quote today.
We are constantly looking for ways to keep your network safe and secure. That's why we love our Advanced Network Protection system, ANP for short, our name for DNS filtering and web filtering done properly for business.
Most security products wait until something has already landed on a computer before they react. ANP works a step earlier, at your internet connection, checking traffic on its way in and refusing anything it doesn't like the look of.
ANP acts like a security guard. It inspects internet data before it enters your building and reduces the risk of all sorts of threats, including these.
Files locked until you pay. ANP blocks the download before the software ever reaches the machine.
Known malicious sites and files are turned away at the door rather than scanned once they arrive.
If a member of staff clicks a convincing fake link, the page it points at simply doesn't load.
Adverts on otherwise legitimate websites are a common delivery route. ANP cuts them off.
Traffic probing your connection for a way in gets identified and shut down automatically.
Categories of site you'd rather nobody visited at work can be blocked across the whole network.
These threats are not blocked by antivirus software or firewalls, which can leave your business vulnerable without the protection of ANP.
The same email, the same click, two very different mornings. Here's how it plays out.
Sally is working on her computer when an email comes in telling her that a parcel could not be delivered. She checks all the usual warning signs, but the email looks genuine, so she clicks the link to track the parcel.
The link, of course, is fake. Here is what happens next.
The link downloads some ransomware. It reaches her computer and the antivirus tries to block it, but the file has already landed before the antivirus can start to scan it. Her computer is ransomed and Sally can't access any of her files without paying a large sum of money.
She clicks the link and the network starts to request the file. ANP inspects the start of that download and says no - you cannot download this file. Sally breathes a sigh of relief, the file never arrives, and she carries on with her work as usual.
Antivirus and firewalls both do a job worth paying for, but they act at the wrong moment for this kind of attack. By the time a malicious file is on the machine, the race has already started.
It sits alongside your existing protection rather than replacing any of it.
Each one catches what the others can't. Miss a layer and you're relying on luck for that part.
Inspects internet data on its way into the building. Malicious downloads, fake pages and known bad destinations are refused before any of your equipment sees them.
Controls which connections are allowed in and out. Excellent at keeping doors shut, but it can't tell whether a file someone deliberately requested is safe.
Your last line of defence, scanning what has already arrived. Essential, but by definition it's dealing with something that's made it onto the computer. See our antivirus page for how we supply and manage it.
No downtime and nothing to roll out across your computers. Most sites are live the same day.
How your internet connection is set up, how many sites and users you have, and what's protecting you at the moment.
Threat blocking is on from the start. Beyond that we agree which categories of website you want filtered and which you'd rather leave open.
Configured at the network level, so it applies to every device straight away. Your team won't notice anything change except the threats that stop arriving.
Threat lists update constantly and blocked attempts come back to us. If something needs your attention, you'll hear it from us first.

You don't need to know anything technical. How many people use your network, and how many sites you have, is plenty to go on.
