Start by protecting your network at the point every request passes through: DNS. In the dashboard, pick your rollout path. For offices, point your router or firewall to the service resolvers and apply a site policy. For laptops and remote staff, deploy the lightweight client via your MDM so protection follows users off the VPN. Sync users and groups from Azure AD or Google Workspace, assign policy templates, and pilot with a small team. Verify that risky domains are blocked, business apps work, and logs arrive in real time. Then roll out broadly and lock policy to prevent bypass.\n\nUse policies to shape how teams work without getting in their way. Block known malware and phishing, enforce SafeSearch, and restrict high-risk categories while allowing approved tools. Create time-based rules: let marketing access social platforms during work hours, tighten rules after hours, and keep developers on package registries but away from shady mirrors. For schools and training rooms, enable YouTube Restricted Mode and educational categories. Maintain a simple workflow for exceptions: when someone hits a block page, capture the request, review it, and add a just-in-time allow for the user, group, or location with an expiry.\n\nKeep roaming devices covered with the endpoint agent, which pins DNS, prevents encrypted DNS bypass, and applies user-level policies on any network. Use per-group rules for engineering to allow Git hosts and container registries while blocking typosquatting domains. Protect CI runners and build servers from calling out to command-and-control hosts. For content teams, allow publishing platforms while filtering link shorteners and known spam sources. Manage guests by applying a minimal, safe policy to separate VLANs so visitors can browse without touching internal resources.\n\nOperate with tight feedback loops. Review daily or weekly summaries to spot spikes in blocked threats, unusual destinations, or productivity drains. Set alerts for malware detections or repeated attempts to access newly registered domains. When an incident occurs, pivot through logs by user, device, or domain, isolate the affected user with a stricter policy, and export evidence for your ticket. Automate onboarding: when a new hire lands in a directory group, they inherit the correct policy automatically. Keep everything up to date via the API or scheduled imports, and retire devices by revoking the agent to avoid stale assets.
