Web Filtering & Compliances for Wi-Fi Providers | Threatpost

Demand for public Wi-Fi is on the rise. Usually free of charge, but there is a risk of expensive losses. Learn ways to protect yourself from cyber-threats.

The demand for public Wi-Fi is increasing constantly due to the increase of smartphone owners and remote workers. Researchers at VPNMentor say that there are approximately 549 million Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide. Another survey by Semantic found that 87 percent of U.S. consumers have used the readily available public internet at a cafe, airport or hotel.

Connecting to those hotspots is usually free of charge, but there is a risk of expensive losses. According to PwC, consumers expect companies to protect their data proactively; 92 percent of consumers say companies must be proactive about data protection, 82 percent agree that the government should regulate how companies use private data, and 72 percent think that businesses, not the government, are best equipped to protect them.

While it is impossible to guarantee 100 percent protection on public Wi-Fi, there are certain measures that can be taken to significantly reduce the risk of cyberthreats over the network and most countries started forcing Wi-Fi providers to include cybersecurity protection along with the internet in order to make them comply with the law. Compliances differ from country to country. We have CIPA in the USA, IWF & Friendly Wi-Fi in the UK, and BpjM in Germany, but all of them tend to require the same thing, that is, filter inappropriate content and keep the user protected.

Web filtering is considered to be an all-in-one package solution that protects users from cyber-threats while filtering the internet from unwanted content. However, not all web filtering providers offer additional features.

There certainly are a few good players on the market, where SafeDNS is among the top ones according to Capterra.
