Block threats before they connect.
Most security defenses react after a bad payload hits your network. We deliver a fully managed DNS Security service — routing your DNS traffic through ultra-fast resolvers, blocking malicious domains before data transfer occurs, and applying real-time shared threat intelligence across all our managed customers.
1 domain flagged → blocked for every customer
The gaps in traditional boundary defenses
Relying exclusively on next-gen firewalls and endpoint security leaves critical operational and network coverage gaps.
Post-connection execution
Firewalls inspect traffic after an IP socket has already opened. If an end-user clicks a zero-day link, data exchange has already begun before inspection finishes.
Unprotected roaming employees
Remote workers connecting directly to public Wi-Fi skip corporate gateway inspection, leaving roaming devices exposed to malware and credential theft.
Unrestricted command-and-control
Once malware compromises an endpoint, it relies on covert DNS queries to reach C2 servers for instructions or encryption key retrieval.
Isolated threat silos
Managing DNS in-house means your security posture is isolated. You learn about emerging malicious domains only after your own network gets targeted.
Pre-connection defense with collective immunity
Stop malware, phishing, and ransomware before an IP connection is ever established — backed by our cross-customer threat intelligence network.
Pre-connection threat enforcement
Enforce security at the DNS layer, blocking access to malicious domains, botnets, and phishing infrastructure before packet delivery or TCP handshakes begin.
Collective customer immunity
When our SOC identifies a malicious domain or zero-day phishing site targeting any single managed customer, that domain is instantly blocked across our entire customer network.
Seamless roaming & multi-site security
Protect users on-network, at home, or traveling worldwide — across operating systems and devices — without latency or mandatory VPN routing.
Fully managed administration & policy
Zero manual DNS management. Our SOC handles resolver routing, policy tuning, 100+ content category filters, SaaS app discovery, and active event triage.
Your DNS resolver becomes the front line
We turn your recursive DNS resolution into your primary line of defense.
Global resolver routing
We point your egress network DNS traffic and roaming agents to high-speed Anycast DNS resolvers, inspecting every domain request in milliseconds without adding latency.
Real-time domain inspection & blocking
Domain queries are evaluated against Cisco Talos intelligence and our proprietary cross-customer threat database. Known malicious sites, phishing domains, and botnet callouts are dropped instantly.
Continuous SOC monitoring & remediation
Our analysts monitor DNS traffic for abnormal query spikes, C2 beaconing, and shadow IT usage — providing immediate alerts and step-by-step containment instructions for compromised endpoints.
Powered by Cisco Umbrella
Our managed service leverages the cloud infrastructure of Cisco Umbrella, processing hundreds of billions of global internet requests daily.
Pre-Connection Threat Prevention
Blocks requests to malicious domains, IP addresses, URLs, and botnet C2 servers before an IP connection is established.
Shared Threat Immunity
If our SOC flags an emerging phishing URL or malicious payload site at one managed customer environment, we push an instant block policy to every customer under our management.
Anycast Data Center Reliability
Built on a globally distributed Anycast network architecture, routing your requests to the nearest data center with 100% uptime and zero latency disruption.
Cisco Meraki & SD-WAN Integration
Native integration across Meraki MR/MX, Cisco SD-WAN, and Cisco Secure Client for rapid deployment across thousands of users in minutes.
100+ Content Category Filters
Enforce acceptable internet use policies and compliance requirements (PCI DSS, CIPA, HIPAA) by blocking risky or inappropriate web categories.
Shadow IT & App Discovery
Uncover unauthorized cloud application usage (CASB visibility) across your workforce to identify data exposure vectors.
