Internet Security with TinkConnect’s Secure Internet

Central to TinkConnect’s Secure Internet is a Cisco Open DNS filter that we activate on your router. This filter checks the IP addresses and other DNS records that are requested by your DNS server. If a website’s content is not secure, users can’t gain access to that website’s IP address. Users are alerted of this by a window. This is how we keep viruses, ransomware and other malware out.

Whitepapers DNSFilter

TinkConnect’s DNS filter validates all DNS requests from your organization – in advance – for any malicious content. This is much more effective than using an antivirus package which is by definition lagging behind criminal virus developments. An antivirus program only intervenes if harmful malware is already on a PC or other device. You should still use an antivirus package to counter threats that reach PCs via USB sticks and email attachments. 

We prefer to activate Secure Internet on your location’s central DNS server. This can be via your internet provider’s router, your own domain controller or a separate internal DNS server. If your internet connection doesn’t have a static IP address, we install an agent on at least one of your PCs. The same agent is installed on laptops used outside your office.

This ensures that your laptops remain protected when working on other networks.

Secure Internet is easily installed and managed on your IT environment by TinkConnect.

Our costs are relatively low. You pay a fixed amount per employee, per month, regardless of the number of workplaces, locations and devices to be protected. The DNS filter also provides insights into internet use within an organization. If desired, we will send you a monthly report.
