Cloud Web Filtering
A more secure way to connect to the Internet.
These days, it’s easy to take the security of an Internet connection for granted. But that’s a huge problem. Most internet services provider (ISP) connections are neither secure, nor safe. The ISP’s domain name system (DNS) servers simply take each URL request, look it up and make the connection. They don’t check where the request is being routed. Even worse, the ISP’s DNS servers themselves may not be hardened or secured. That means that, if they are attacked, they and all of their customers could lose all Internet connectivity. There’s a smarter solution to these problems.
Our DNS Protection is an easy and highly effective way to secure networks, control Internet usage and prevent everyday browsing from becoming a security risk.
The platform has servers at multiple points of presence around the globe. It has automatic load balancing and automatic failover. The platform uses the latest hardware and is fully hardened against DNS cache poisoning, DDoS and other attacks that target DNS servers.
Finally, it has massive processing capacity and headroom to handle Internet requests; each cluster can process 30 billion requests per second.
Our DNS Protection is a very secure and reliable way for businesses to ensure an always-on connection to the Internet.

Filtering covers all Internet traffic for any network device or user making a connection request. It is the only DNS service that fully covers both IPv4 and IPv6, which now accounts for nearly 25% of Internet traffic.
The platform can filter request made by roaming laptops, and on guest/visitor WiFi networks. We can define granular access control policies, making the system very flexible.
The platform is powered by the BrightCloud Web Classification Service. It is updated every 5 minutes or less to ensure the most accurate web classification intelligence possible.
As an example of the kind of access control and security DNS Protection provides, consider cryptojacking, a threat which has recently become very prevalent. With DNS Protection, users can still navigate to a website hijacked with cryptojacking scripts and consume their content, but the connection requests from the cryptojacking addresses are automatically rejected, thereby neutralizing the threat. More dangerous requests—including those to command and control servers, spam relays, botnets, phishing sites, and malware sites—are also automatically blocked. With DNS Protection, businesses can stop up to 88% of malicious inbound network traffic.
