Take Control of Your DNS

In the ever-evolving world of cyber threats, attackers are constantly looking for new ways to get past your defenses. One of their most frequent targets is the Domain Name System (DNS), the essential service that translates human-readable website names into machine-friendly IP addresses. Because almost every internet connection starts with a DNS query, it’s a perfect point for attackers to launch phishing campaigns, spread malware, and establish command-and-control communication with compromised systems.

Many organizations are considering third-party DNS providers to add a layer of security, but this often means relinquishing control over a critical piece of your infrastructure. You have to send all your internal DNS traffic—which contains valuable data about your network activity—to an outside provider. What if you could dramatically enhance the security of your existing DNS infrastructure without giving up that control?

Keep Your Infrastructure, Elevate Your Defense

threatER provides a preemptive security platform with a powerful, API-first architecture that allows you to integrate your intelligence and policies directly into your own DNS infrastructure. Instead of replacing your trusted systems, we enhance them, helping you maintain complete control while dramatically improving your security posture. This eliminates the need to send your internal DNS traffic to outside providers, protecting your privacy and security.

Here’s how threatER’s API-first integration works to create a more resilient DNS defense:

• Integrate Policies into Your DNS: Using threatER’s flexible APIs, you can easily integrate your existing security policies directly into your own DNS servers. This approach transforms your DNS into an active defense, enforcing your rules at the earliest possible point of connection. It’s not just a translator anymore; it’s your first line of defense.
• Automated Intelligence Sharing: The real power of threatER lies in its ability to connect your entire security stack. threatER seamlessly integrates with your security tools, including your SIEMs, firewalls, and threat intelligence feeds. When any tool or even a user identifies a new malicious domain, that intelligence is instantly fed to threatER. This creates a real-time, automated feedback loop that continuously learns from your environment.
• Enrich Your DNS with threatER Intelligence: threatER manages and actions this data at scale. It consumes high-quality, verified threat intelligence from a multitude of sources and translates that data into actionable policies. These policies are then enforced directly within your internal DNS environment, proactively preventing connections to phishing sites, malware droppers, and command-and-control servers before they ever leave your network.

The Strategic Advantage of an Integrated DNS Defense

By using threatER to enhance your DNS, you’re not just adding a security layer—you’re implementing a strategic approach that offers significant benefits beyond just blocking threats.

• Maintain Control Over Your Infrastructure: Keep your sensitive DNS queries and infrastructure in-house, avoiding reliance on third-party providers. This is crucial for privacy, compliance, and maintaining full visibility into your network’s activity.
• Enhance Existing Investments: You’ve already invested in your DNS servers and security tools. threatER allows you to maximize the value of those investments by adding a powerful layer of preemptive threat intelligence to the infrastructure you already own and manage.
• Operational Efficiency: By stopping threats at the DNS layer, you significantly reduce the workload on downstream security tools like firewalls, IDS/IPS, and web gateways. This means fewer alerts, less noise, and more time for your security team to focus on the threats that truly matter.
• Automated, Real-Time Protection: A threat detected anywhere in your ecosystem can be used to automatically update policies and protect your entire organization at the DNS level. This automated enforcement ensures your defenses are always up-to-date and ready for emerging threats.

In today’s landscape, a robust DNS defense is non-negotiable. With threatER, you can take control of your DNS, reduce complexity, and reinforce trust across every connection in your organization.
