Description

OpenText Core DNS Protection delivers continuous, comprehensive oversight of DNS traffic to defend organizations against stealthy, fast-moving attacks. It inspects every DNS resolution request—from applications, browsers, and background processes—and immediately filters out malicious queries before harm can occur. The solution helps prevent data loss by blocking communication with Command and Control infrastructure used for exfiltration and ransomware operations. With dynamic detection of unauthorized DNS servers, it ensures that encrypted DNS traffic cannot bypass corporate policies. Administrators can centrally manage rules, analyze DNS patterns, and identify vulnerabilities through built-in reporting dashboards. Hybrid and remote workers stay fully protected because the agent enforces DNS policies on any network. Setup is fast and frictionless, giving organizations instant security improvements without major infrastructure changes. By restoring full visibility and control over DNS activity, the platform strengthens the security posture of modern, distributed environments.

Description

Quad9 offers a complimentary service that substitutes your standard ISP or enterprise Domain Name Server (DNS) settings. Whenever your device engages in any online activity that relies on DNS—an occurrence that is quite common—Quad9 effectively obstructs access to harmful domain names by utilizing a constantly updated database of threats. This proactive blocking shields your computers, mobile devices, or IoT systems from various dangers such as malware, phishing attempts, spyware, and botnets, while also enhancing performance and ensuring your privacy. The Quad9 DNS service is managed by the Quad9 Foundation, which is based in Switzerland and is dedicated to fostering a safer and more resilient Internet for all users. Furthermore, when utilizing Quad9, your IP address is never recorded in any of their systems, ensuring an additional layer of privacy protection. This commitment to user safety and anonymity makes Quad9 an appealing choice for individuals and organizations alike.
