What is Sandbox Browsing as a Service?
When browsing the internet from AP Lens, your machine is completely segregated from the websites you are visiting, and tracking cookies and website-based attacks cannot reach you.
No software installation, configuration, maintenance or patching is required.
Stop cyberattacks, ONLY Connect to vetted URLs
Domain whitelist is like a shield, protect you from unknown or suspicious websites.
We select over 300,000 domains and websites that are trustworthy and secure.
By using whitelist DNS, unvetted URLs will be diverted to a secure sandbox browser.
What is AP Lens DNS Firewall with whitelist?
Augmented whitelisting is AP Lens balanced approach to be the key in achieving successful cybersecurity, bringing together safety and user experience.
Instead of focusing of trying to identify unsafe sites in order to block them, AP Lens goes the other way. In a work environment, employees tend to spend most of their time on a relatively small number of sites. These websites are whitelisted by AP Lens, and users can browse them as usual. Other websites, that haven’t been vetted, and might potentially be unsafe are visualised on the user device via AP Lens sandbox browser running on a cloud server. Like a stuntman, AP Lens visits the website on the users’ behalf, keeping them safe and leaving the browsing experience unaffected.
Whitelist VS Blacklist
- AP Lens would achieve the same result as the DNS protection system, but without needing any intervention from the IT manager to update the list of malicious domains. Being based on a zero-trust principle, AP Lens will treat all websites as potentially malicious unless they have been added to the organisation’s whitelist.
- The call back is originating from user computer and trying to reach a website controlled by a cybercriminal. This website is not in the whitelist and all connection are blocked. Therefore, the user is safe without the need to constantly review or patch.
- AP Lens also offers a high availability and low latency DNS servers for our users. With AP Lens DNS systems, it is not possible to create covert channel using DNS query.
- DNS based protection would work the same way with one important difference: it would safeguard the user in any location, not only at the office when the user is connected to the firewall-protected company network. This is particularly important given the ever-increasing use of remote working in many organisations.
- A protective DNS service which is also integrated with threat intelligence (usually this happens via paid subscription with security vendors) can block all types of data traffic with known malicious domain, including the call back/phone home traffic.
- A dedicated DNS server can limit traffic from UDP port 53 by allowing it only to a predetermine fixed IP (a trusted DNS server like 8.8.8.8). The attacker is then not able to use this port to perform the attack even if the spyware is already installed on the user’s machine.
AP Lens protects your privacy
Stop third-party cookies
Prevent browser and device profiling
Stop location-based tracking
No impact on user experience
Online privacy is constantly at risk against tech giants one side, and increasingly professionalised cyber criminals on the other. VPNs and private browser can help, but are not enough to stop tracking tools such as cookies, browser and device profiling and location-based tracking, among others. Sometimes, these tools can impact user experience by slowing down speed or breaking up websites visualisation. AP Lens addresses all these issues at once, with one agentless tool, which you can experience without being required to download or install any new software.
AP Lens prevents phishing and spyware
Malicious file download
Web browser exploits
Script based malware
Website spoofing
Phishing
Website based attacks and phishing are very common attacks that can unfortunately by-pass most anti-virus devices. Why? Because traditional cybersecurity tools are built on the blacklisting principle: they aim at blocking threats which are recognised via threat intelligence databases, which require content updates, and AI tools supported by cybersecurity analysis, which is often too expensive for the individual users. AP Lens takes an entirely new approach: we will open all un-trusted websites for you in a sandbox browser: this way, any attempt at attacking you simply cannot reach your device.
Unlike most cybersecurity solutions currently available on the market, AP Lens is built with small business in mind.
AP Lens is intuitive, incredibly user-friendly and to require as little maintenance and configuration as possible from the user’s side. It requires no software download, no installation, configuration or monitoring and is available for all platforms and devices, including mobile devices.
Web traffic filtering
No firewall required
Zero trust policy
No software installation required
Protects company owned as well as personal devices and mobile phones
Traditional cybersecurity has evolved to meet the needs of complex actors such as corporates, banking, governments. Its most sophisticated tools, like AI enabled managed detection and response systems, require significative financial and human resources to be run effectively.
AP Lens is built with small businesses needs in mind. AP Lens is intuitive, user-friendly and require as little maintenance and configuration as possible from the users' side. It performs the functions of traditional firewalls and anti-virus, preventing malware downloads and enforcing web filtering based on the zero trust principle. And it requires no device or software installation, configuration and manteinance.Remote devices management
Access IP enabled devices securely
No server configuration, maintenance and update required
Access IOT devices configuration interfaces from a segregated, remote browser
Do you find yourself having to remotely access and configure an increasing large number of IOT devices, routers, IP cameras and CCTVs and other IP enabled machines? Doing so through a server can expose you to vulnerabilities linked to server configuration, maintenance, update as well as to malicious threats moving vertically from your device to the server and vice versa.
AP Lens allows you to access admin pages of any IP enabled device from a remote browser whose session is initiated from scratch every time you log-in, and destroyed at the end of each session. AP Lens browser is run on cloud and any threat present on the user-controlled device or on the IP machine, will stay segregated. You can also use AP Lens' provided IPs to restrict access to the internet devices, and further increase security.
