Introduction
Every time your employees click a link, type a URL, or open a web app, their device queries the Domain Name System (DNS). It’s like the phonebook of the internet and cybercriminals know how to exploit it.
From fake banking websites to malicious domains hosting malware, DNS-level attacks are growing fast across the internet landscape. In fact, many phishing campaigns no longer rely only on email, they trick users into visiting malicious sites directly. This is where DNSFilter comes in.

What is DNSFilter?
DNSFilter is a cloud-based, AI-powered DNS security platform. Instead of waiting for traditional threat feeds which can take up to 10 days to update, DNSFilter uses machine learning to detect and block threats in real time.
Key features:

• Threat blocking at DNS level
  Stops malicious requests before a connection is made.
• Content filtering
  Block inappropriate or non-work-related sites.
