What is DNS Filtering
Numata Domain Name System (DNS) Filtering identifies bad websites and blocks malicious users from accessing the domain and all its associated pages. Thousands of harmful websites are created every day. Malicious advertising, phishing, and other security threats can bypass legacy content filtering. We get insights into web-based dashboards while simultaneously providing an additional layer of security, greater network visibility, and user-based reporting for your business.
Numata DNS Filtering uses content filtering functionality and adds more proactive capabilities, such as:
- Real-time, smart identification of malicious domains and inappropriate content using AI and machine learning
- Threat feed augmentation to mitigate botnet, crypto mining, and malware threats
- Image analysis to defend against phishing attacks
- Analysis of registered domains in the last 30 days with the option to block those to allow proving time
- Greater protection with a four-tiered antiphishing approach that analyzes HTTPS/ SSL usage, conducts image matching, and performs domain name and content analysis
The cybersecurity landscape is always evolving, with new threat vectors and sophisticated scams emerging every year. The one thing they all have in common is where they originate online. Numata DNS protection is the only security layer designed to shield your company from all threats that originate online via scanning, categorizing, and blocking hacked websites. Having a proactive risk mitigation plan starts with an aggressive web protection strategy.
