Endpoint DNS Security Demo Videos

Endpoint DNS Security is a cybersecurity solution that filters and monitors DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic at the endpoint level to block malicious domains, ransomware command-and-control communications, data leakages, and next-generation cyberattacks. Rather than relying solely on traditional signature-based detection, it operates at the traffic layer, intercepting threats before they can execute on a device. Heimdal's Endpoint DNS Security is powered by DarkLayer Guard® and VectorN Detection®, and is enhanced with Predictive DNS, an AI and machine learning algorithm capable of identifying malicious domains before they have hosted any malicious content.

The demo videos walk you through how Heimdal's Endpoint DNS Security detects and blocks threats in real time at the DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS levels. You'll see how DarkLayer Guard's 2-way traffic filtering engine intercepts malicious communications, how VectorN Detection identifies second-generation malware strains that traditional antivirus tools miss, and how the solution integrates with the broader Heimdal EPDR suite from a single unified dashboard.

When a device attempts to communicate with a known or predicted malicious domain, such as a ransomware command-and-control server, Heimdal's DarkLayer Guard intercepts and blocks that traffic before any payload can be delivered or data exfiltrated. Using Threat To Process Correlation (TTPC) technology, the solution identifies the attacking process behind the connection, not just the domain itself, enabling Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) capabilities. VectorN Detection further strengthens this by tracking device-to-infrastructure communication patterns using machine learning to surface indicators of compromise (IOC) and indicators of attack (IOA) that code-based scanners cannot detect.

Yes. Heimdal's Endpoint DNS Security is designed to be flexible and scalable, making it well suited for organisations with a mix of remote and on-site teams. Because protection is applied at the endpoint level rather than being tied to a network perimeter or firewall, devices remain protected wherever they connect. This is a key differentiator from firewall-bound DNS protection solutions, which only cover traffic within the corporate network boundary.

Traditional firewall-based DNS protection filters traffic at the network perimeter, meaning devices operating outside that perimeter — such as laptops used remotely — are left unprotected. Heimdal's Endpoint DNS Security operates at the device level, ensuring protection travels with the endpoint. It also goes further than standard DNS filtering: it supports true DNS over HTTPS (DoH), encrypting all DNS queries to prevent man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks and DNS spoofing. Additionally, through VectorN Detection, it can identify second-generation malware strains that bypass both traditional and next-generation antivirus engines, capabilities that firewall-based solutions do not provide.
