Ask About Geo-Filtering From Alltek Services
The majority of the clients we support are small to medium-sized businesses that have clients primarily locally or throughout the United States. We review their need for correspondence outside of the US and then create a Geo-Filter that blocks traffic from countries that have a high incidence of malicious cybersecurity threats.
Geo-Filtering should be considered as just one tool in your cybersecurity arsenal. It’s used in conjunction with other technologies and methods. It won’t stop everything, but when applied correctly, Geo-Filtering can prevent bad-actors from entering your network.
