Secure your DNS connection against cyberattacks, get total visibility into web usage, and enforce acceptable web usage policies to reduce security risk.
Today’s businesses need secure, private, manageable and visible control over internet traffic. By using a protective DNS service like Webroot® DNS Protection organizations control their networks and maintain the security, privacy and visibility they need to protect IT infrastructure and users, even those working remotely.
This fully cloud-based, secure, and resilient service takes just minutes to set up. Protect your DNS connection, network, and users from cyberattacks.
Drill down into reports on all threats the business would’ve been susceptible to without DNS Protection in place, and get full visibility into risk and usage.
Control internet usage for your users using pre-configured and custom policies by group, device or network.
Over 80 URL categories give you granular, policy-based control to automatically block dangerous and questionable sites (such as Malware and Adult) or unwanted sites (such as streaming media).
Webroot® threat intelligence backs all Webroot products, and is trusted by over 100 leading technology vendors to enhance their services.
DNS filtering stops up to 88% of known malware at the domain layer, so it never reaches your network. It saves you time and money, while also minimizing unproductive web usage.
“Layered security is very much an upsell for us. We’re trying to move our customers to this type of layered model, where they’re more protected. When we add the right services with partners like Webroot, upsells improve our margins and give us more room to maneuver in other aspects of our business. For our clients with DNS Protection, help desk calls are reduced by almost 40%.”
– Jason Ballard, IT Solutions Manager, Sedona Technologies
Before we talk about DNS security, you need to understand the DNS. The domain name system (DNS) works like a phone book for the internet. When a user enters text into a browser, DNS servers take that input and translate it into the unique internet protocol (IP) addresses that let the browser open the desired site. But DNS protocols were never designed with security in mind, and are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, such as cache poisoning, DDoS, DNS hijacking, botnets, C&C, man-in-the-middle, and more.
By redirecting users’ web traffic through a cloud-based, DNS security solution, businesses and MSPs can finely tune and enforce web access policies, ensure regulatory compliance, and stop 88% of threats at the network’s edge—before they ever hit the network or endpoints.
Uncontrolled internet access is a high-risk activity for any business, regardless of size. Faced with today’s sophisticated attacks, endpoint security alone is no longer enough to stay safe from modern cybercrime. In fact, a recent report from EfficientIP found that 77% of businesses around the world suffered at least one DNS cyberattack in 2018. What’s even more worrying: on average, businesses got hit with as many as seven attacks throughout the year.
Per the report, the average cost of a single attack was $715,000 USD. When you do the math, it’s clear how DNS Protection for servers, endpoints, and other networked devices could make all the difference to a business’ success (and survival).
