DNS Security Software Solution

DNS Security – Endpoint filters all network traffic based on DNS requests, using the DarkLayer Guard engine to create a local DNS server that scans for malicious websites before they reach your endpoints. The solution acts as a filtering gateway, processing web requests through comprehensive databases to identify and block threats.

Your organization needs DNS Security because DNS attacks are increasingly common and costly for businesses. The solution blocks malicious websites, prevents zero-day exploits, and stops data exfiltration to hacker-controlled servers. The DarkLayer Guard filter receives over 800,000 new weekly updates with updates provided every 2 hours, staying ahead of evolving cybercriminal threats and providing essential protection for modern digital operations.

DarkLayer Guard is a two-way traffic filtering engine with customizable allow/block listing that provides Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System capabilities. It creates a local DNS server that processes every web request through databases, identifying and blocking malicious content in milliseconds.

The system features Threat to Process Correlation technology that identifies attacking processes and provides forensic information about threats. Working with VectorN Detection’s AI-based traffic pattern recognition, it delivers intrusion detection capabilities that spot hidden malware without code signatures. This approach blocks malware at the traffic level, stopping communications with criminal infrastructure.

Predictive DNS is Heimdal’s AI and machine learning algorithm that predicts whether a domain will become malicious before hosting harmful content. This patented technology uses neural networks and AI linguistic analysis to achieve intelligent threat prevention beyond traditional reactive security.

The system analyzes domain characteristics, registration patterns, and linguistic elements to identify potentially malicious domains early. This proactive approach blocks threats before they become active attack vectors, providing advantages over solutions that only react to known threats. Combined with threat intelligence databases, it offers preventative security that stops attacks at their source.

Heimdal’s DNS Security includes Cloud Access Security Broker functionality providing visibility into cloud application usage. App Discovery automatically detects and catalogs cloud applications across endpoints, displaying names, vendors, installed endpoints, and risk levels in a centralized dashboard.

CASB functionality monitors inappropriate cloud app usage, controls access to applications, and adds discovered apps to block lists for enhanced security. Working with domain blocking capabilities, it provides granular control over cloud service access. You can monitor applications like ChatGPT by identifying network traffic patterns and implementing access controls based on organizational policies.

Heimdal’s DNS Security is the world’s first cybersecurity product supporting true DNS over HTTPS filtering, encrypting domain traffic through secure sessions. This feature mitigates Man-in-the-Middle attacks and DNS spoofing while maintaining system performance and user privacy.

Advanced features include customizable block pages with organizational branding, category-based blocking with scheduling, comprehensive investigate functionality, and VPN compatibility. The system provides detailed logging, supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, and integrates with existing infrastructure. Unlike traditional filtering that blocks known threats, Heimdal combines real-time intelligence, predictive analytics, and process correlation for comprehensive protection.
