DNSFilter is the most accurate threat detection and content filtering tool on the market today. Flexible deployment options, including Roaming Clients for all operating systems, and Active Directory integration. Features to fit your organization, whether you’re fully remote, hybrid, or back in the office. DNSFilter maintains a vast global anycast network. We achieve redundancy through load balancing, redundant fiber connectivity, power protection, backup generators, and off-site backups. This approach allows us to proactively and conveniently take a datacenter off our global network whenever such a catastrophic event or maintenance occurs. It also allows us to do maintenance on our network more easily than other DNS resolvers. With the DNSFilter AppAware feature, you can block over 100 risky applications from being used on your network. This solution allows you to block all of the domains associated with a single app. Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a security system that helps verify the origin and integrity of data moving back and forth in a DNS resolution process. It is recommended as the best solution for preventing DNS poisoning attacks. DNS poisoning or spoofing is done when an attacker intercepts a DNS request and sends a fabricated (poisoned) response to the client. Scheduled reports create automated feedback to help you stay up to date on DNS activities on your network and have more visibility into how DNSFilter is protecting you from threats and unwanted content. You choose the cadence of these reports – weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. DNSFilter offers all the features required of a compliant Protective DNS provider out of the box, including extra features like one-click application blocking, offsite protection, and defense against zero-day attacks. Other features include protection when users are using public WiFi, protecting roaming clients, single sign-on, universal lists of blocked and allowed domains.
