Blocked US Websites

sl-engineering — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 12:53:02 GMT

We supply parts to the aerospace industry and currently do a lot of work for the US DOD. This requires us to get access to certain sites to clariffy our Cyber Security credentials. Unfortunately when we try to access these sites we get a message to say this site can't be reasched. We have beeen told by our IT Dept this is due to certain sites from the US being blocked by BT. We need access to theses sites to continue our work with the DOD so could someone please let me know why these sites are blocked and why we can not access them? Thanks Jim

Hi sl-engineering

We don't have any content filtering on the BT Business Hubs so I'm not sure why these would be getting filtered out - is this issue still occuring on these websites for you?

Hi sl-engineering,

Could you please privately message me what websites you aren't able to access so I can check from our side?
