[appsuite-announce] Open-Xchange releases OX Protect v2.0

[Open-Xchange App Suite Maintenance Announcements]

Dear Open-Xchange Customers and Partners,

Open-Xchange is pleased to announce the release of OX Protect v2.0.

OX Protect lets you create a safe and secure online experience for your subscribers. It protects traditional digital equipment as well as IoT devices against malware, phishing and other harmful online content. At the same time, it gives users easy to configure, flexible control over which sites each family member or business employee can visit and allows users to restrict access to certain content at different times, like off-time or bedtime.

OX Protect v2.0

- Security Dashboard for Users - OX Protect 2.0 comes with a security dashboard that allows users to view reports that show the security status of their network and the connected devices. It informs about blocked attempts to access filtered content, potentially malware-infected devices, and more. Security reports can be viewed over a time period ranging from one to thirty days.

- Enhanced Notifications and Event Aggregation – The new version provides a simpler way of displaying, consolidating, and acting on real-time notifications about events such as attempts to visit blacklisted webpages, blocked phishing attacks, and more.

- Homework Time – Homework time provides a feature whereby a more restrictive set of filtering rules can be applied during certain times, for example, to support children doing their homework and removing distractions such as messaging apps or video streaming. This can be done on a per-profile basis so different family members can have different homework times and settings.
