• Whitelisted websites: these websites have been previously marked as safe: the user can browse them as usual

• Known malicious websites: traffic is denied

• Unknown websites: the user will be sent to AP Lens – Remote Browser; the browser is run on a virtual machine and any malicious activity will therefore not affect the end user; however, from their point of view, the experience is undistinguishable from that of their usual internet browsing. We call this augmented whitelisting.

Unknown websites represent the largest majority of websites visited by users. These websites can be blocked by firewalls and other security software for multiple reasons. IT departments are often and continuously asked to unblock such websites, leading to operational bottlenecks and potential security breaches when the website turns out to be non-secure.

“The majority of cyber-attacks passes through a website: whether by a spoofed domain in a phishing attack, or via the involuntary download of malware on the user's computer. AP Lens blocks cyber-attacks without interfering with the user experience”

With AP Lens, IT departments can allow traffic on non-whitelisted site, or to sites that are blocked by firewalls, without intervention and in total security.
