DNS Filter

DNS Filtering is a type of web filtering that uses Domain Name Services to block threats at source, by intercepting rogue requests while the search is being made and before the user gains access. Hackers exploit these flaws to disrupt services, redirect people to malicious websites or steal information.

DNS filtering protects against this, checking every website request against a list of known dangerous or suspicious domains and IP addresses; no content can load before the DNS process occurs.

DNS Filter provides blanket security by offering built-in protection against phishing and malware attacks and restricting access to unwanted sites. With simple, zero-downtime deployment, it quickly safeguards and filters across your organisation’s network, any connected devices and your remote users.

With full network traffic visibility and detailed reporting to identify which users are clicking on threats, DNS Filter helps boost productivity and create a safer online environment.

Machine-powered DNS protection

Protect your network where it matters most

DNS is one of the most vulnerable application layers, with the widest and most varied attack surface. Applying constraints at the DNS layer, rather than solely relying on firewalls, significantly reduces threat exposure.

Our machine-powered solution can be deployed on remote devices, at the network level and on guest WiFi networks. It combines industry gathered intelligence data with insight from our own domain intelligence tool.

DNS Filter effectively stops zero-day phishing and ransomware attacks before they reach your network.

Choose the deployment method that best fits your organisation. Whether you need network-wide protection, device-specific control or a local DNS proxy option.
