To protect against malicious websites, Antivirus software should be configured for threat detection and prevention. Firewalls and proxy servers can also enhance network security by controlling traffic and blocking harmful data from accessing the network.
When configuring web threat protection for a network and dealing with a website containing malicious content, Antivirus software should be configured to protect the system from potential threats. This software is designed to detect, block, and remove viruses and other kinds of malicious software. It can provide real-time scanning of traffic to identify and block access to malicious sites. Additionally, configuring a Firewall is also essential for network security. Firewalls can control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules and can block data packets from suspect sources. A proxy server can also provide web threat protection by acting as an intermediary between users and the internet, filtering requests and preventing access to dangerous sites. While router encryption like WPA2 or WPA3 helps to secure a network against unauthorized access, it does not directly deal with malicious content from websites.
