Multiple different policies for DNS security can be applied at the user, group, or IP level; ensuring maximum organizational flexibility. This capability allows us to configure different levels of internet access based upon departmental or other business groupings. An example of this flexibility would include actions like: blocking Facebook company wide with the exception of the Marketing Department.

A DNS security application can provide transparency into employee internet utilization; and typically includes full reporting capability (by employee) for day/week/month, etc. Configuring a DNS security application within your business is the fastest and easiest way for business managers to obtain these types of insights into employee internet usage statistics.

While configuration changes to existing are required for implementation; DNS security (and its benefits such as web usage tracking) can typically be implemented without the use of additional hardware. Other than DNS Security; there is no solution on the market that can so dramatically and inexpensively impact the cyber-security profile of a business operation.

DNS security can block as much as 90% of web-based malware at the URL level; so these threats never make it back to your network. A thwarted malware infection is one your team does not have to recover from or clean up. We have recognized a notable change in the number of client infections immediately following implementing DNS security at client environments.

A small software client can be deployed for laptop (or other remote workers) to force DNS security compliance when users are outside the office. Once installed, the internet is effectively secured for the end-user in question, regardless of their physical location. Thus, DNS security helps us cut down on client infections even when the client is located outside the office.
