Introducing ComTech Productivity Plus & Advanced DNS Protection

What is DNS Filtering?

DNS filtering is a security layer that protects your business from malicious websites and cyber threats. When a user attempts to visit a website, DNS filtering ensures they are directed to the correct, safe destination.

How It Works:

• If the website is safe, users access it without interruption.
• If the website is malicious or unapproved, users see a notification stating that access is blocked.
• If a blocked website is needed for business purposes, users can request access, which will create a support ticket.
• Once reviewed and approved, the website will be accessible.

Why It Matters:

Cybercriminals frequently use phishing attacks and fraudulent websites to gain unauthorized access to business networks. DNS filtering stops these threats before they reach your employees, preventing potential breaches and protecting sensitive data.

What is ComTech's Productivity Plus?

While cybersecurity is essential, efficiency also plays a key role in business success.
That's where ComTech Productivity Plus comes in.

This tool provides managers and business owners with insightful data on how employees are using technology in the workplace.

Key Features:

• Identify the top programs employees use most frequently.
• See which websites are accessed the most and categorize them (business, social media, etc.).
• Compare meeting time across platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
• Monitor work trends to optimize workflows and improve productivity.

What It's NOT:

We understand concerns about privacy, which is why Productivity Plus is not designed for micromanagement.
It does not:

• Take screenshots of employees' workstations.
• Provide live monitoring of individual users.
• Allow real-time tracking of specific employee actions.

Instead, it offers a big-picture view of workplace efficiency, helping business owners and managers make informed decisions without compromising user privacy.

User-Friendly Reporting for Business Insights

With clear visual dashboards, business leaders can quickly identify trends and patterns, including:

• Top 10 Websites & Applications used by employees.
• Website Categories—business, social media, entertainment, etc.
• Employee Productivity Patterns throughout the workweek.

By analyzing this data, managers can determine if company resources are being used effectively and make adjustments to improve workflow efficiency.
