DNS filtering and centralised credential management are two of the most cost-effective security controls available. Both are quick to deploy, require no action from staff to work, and are increasingly referenced by Australian cyber insurers as expected baseline controls.
Some of the most effective security improvements are also the simplest. DNS filtering stops threats before they reach your systems. A centrally managed credential vault removes one of the most common causes of account compromise. Neither requires significant disruption to deploy.
We include these as part of a broader security program, but they can also be deployed as standalone controls where a business wants to close a specific gap quickly.
DNS filtering intercepts requests to known malicious domains before a connection is established. If a staff member clicks a phishing link or visits a compromised site, the request is blocked before any content loads or any malicious code runs.
This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective controls available. It operates silently in the background, requires no action from staff, and significantly reduces the risk of malware infection, ransomware delivery, and data theft through malicious websites.
Weak, reused, and shared passwords account for a significant proportion of account compromises. A centrally managed credential vault removes the need for staff to remember or store passwords themselves, while giving IT full visibility and control over credential hygiene.
DNS filtering and credential management address two of the most common attack vectors. DNS filtering stops many attacks before they start. Credential management reduces the impact when credentials are compromised elsewhere, because the credentials in your business are strong, unique, and not reused across personal and work accounts.
Together they add meaningful protection without significant changes to how staff work. Both are also viewed positively by cyber insurance underwriters as evidence of a mature security posture.
Both controls can be set up quickly and managed on your behalf. Talk to us about adding them to your environment.
