The LANCOM Security Essentials Option provides an efficient and reliable solution to protect networks against threats such as ransomware, phishing, malware, and credential theft. The integrated Content Filter effectively blocks unwanted and illegal internet content – preserving corporate integrity and significantly reducing liability risks. At the same time, the BPjM module of the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BzKJ) reliably shields minors from harmful content. The underlying database used to verify website content is hosted in a GDPR-compliant cloud provided by European security specialist Bitdefender. For maximum scalability, use of the option is not limited to a specific number of users – making it ideal for growing networks.

The security upgrade for business networks
With the LANCOM Security Essentials Option, your network bandwidth is fully reserved for business operations. Websites containing spyware, phishing, viruses, and other threats are reliably blocked using a powerful, database-driven web filtering technology. The requested web content is checked online via a trusted rating server operated by the European security specialist Bitdefender. Administrators can freely define which thematic categories are blocked or allowed. Four preconfigured security profiles enable quick and efficient implementation.

Comprehensive protection against harmful content for minors
The integrated BPjM module from the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BzKJ) ensures that harmful media is reliably blocked. This is based on an official and continuously updated website list issued by the BzKJ, providing maximum protection for minors in schools, youth centers, or at home.

Comprehensive statistics for full control
The LANCOM Security Essentials Option delivers detailed statistics on Internet usage, including category-based analysis. For example, top-10 lists of blocked and allowed website access can be generated for a configurable time frame. All statistics are anonymized to comply with data protection regulations.

Unlimited number of users
Thanks to its unlimited user support, the Security Essentials Option protects growing networks cost-effectively and conveniently. The data sheet includes recommended numbers of simultaneous users per device category to ensure optimal performance.

Individual, time- and profile-based configuration
Internet access rights can be flexibly configured with the LANCOM Security Essentials Option. For instance, specific content may be made accessible during lunch breaks while being restricted during core business hours. User-dependent profiles can also be set up to selectively permit access to business-relevant websites.

Flexible override function
Where justified, the override button allows for temporary access to blocked websites without needing to adjust existing configurations. Overrides can be activated based on categories and monitored via email, SYSLOG, or SNMP to ensure controlled and secure use.
