What is DNS Filtering?

DNS filtering serves as a protective barrier against cyber threats, operating on a straightforward principle: if a website harbors potential dangers, users are prevented from accessing it.

This proactive, zero-trust approach ensures maximum security by eliminating risks before they can be encountered.

How does DNS Filtering work?

DNS filtering empowers you to sift through and exclude undesirable or harmful content right at the DNS level.

It functions by classifying each domain you aim to access, then comparing these classifications and domain names against predetermined policies of content you wish to block.

How does DNS Filter perform DNS Filtering?

DNS Filter's unique AI tool, Webshrinker, persistently scans over 180 million websites to identify their content and purpose. The tool signals any website suspected of harboring malware, ransomware, malvertising, or scams, enabling our customers to preemptively block these dangerous sites.

Thus, a robust first line of defense is established, intervening between a user’s click and the delivery of a harmful webpage. Furthermore, domains under 30 days old can be blocked effortlessly with a single click.

Why do I need DNS Filtering?

DNS filtering boasts versatility, providing users with sophisticated customization options. Tailor your content permissions and restrictions to meet your organisation’s specific needs, choosing what to allow and what to block.

Enabling DNS-based web filtering not only protects users from malicious content but also offers a plethora of advantages but ultimately bolsters your defences and makes your team more productive.
