DNS Filtering Netherlands – Complete Guide

What is DNS filtering and why is it crucial for Dutch companies?

DNS filtering blocks dangerous websites at the network or device level. This prevents employees from accidentally visiting harmful content. The benefits are:

• Preventing malware and phishing attacks.
• Protection against data breaches and downtime.
• Enhanced network security without complicated settings.

For Dutch companies, this is especially important because of AVG compliance and the increase in cybercrime targeting SMEs.

1. Conduct risk analysis – Identify current threats.
2. Choice of DNS filter solution – Depending on company size and industry.
3. Installation and configuration – According to Dutch privacy legislation (AVG).
