BCT has implemented Umbrella Defense - a cyber security solution from Cisco - to help protect internet subscribers.

Umbrella Defense is a complimentary, included service that protects all subscribers on a BCT internet connection from accidentally visiting reportedly known websites that may contain malware, phishing, or ransomware. This broad-spectrum protection works on computers, smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices and is automatically operational for all users in a location where a BCT internet service is activated.

Features

• Included with every internet subscription.

• Effectively blocks malware, phishing, ransomware, cyberattacks & other threats before they reach your connected devices like computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices.

• Ongoing intelligence updates help uncover current and emerging phishing and malware threats earlier than other security programs.

• Identifies already infected devices and helps to prevent data theft.

• Works silently in the background without slowing down your devices.

• Requires no action on your part or ongoing, time-consuming management.

Here is an example of what you may see when a potentially harmful website is blocked by Umbrella Protect:
