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.
