DNSFilter overview

What is DNSFilter?

DNSFilter is a cybersecurity management software that enables enterprises, K-12 schools, and universities to detect online security threats and malware using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and content filtering capabilities. The web-based dashboard lets administrators monitor site activities across locations, active networks, and domains.

Businesses can use DNSFilter's threat analysis functionality to protect networks against bot attacks, viruses, phishing threats, and other vulnerabilities through AI and machine learning enabled threat analysis. Supervisors can restrict employees' access to malicious content, as well as specific websites such as Hulu or Netflix, and utilize data filtering capabilities to monitor Domain Name System (DNS) activities across devices. It lets administrators gain visibility into active networks, protection levels, source of threats, attack frequency, network protection costs, query logs, and other metrics using reports. The global anycast network automatically identifies vulnerabilities across nodes including network connectivity issues, hard drive failures, or power loss and helps enterprises reroute DNS requests to the nearest locations.

Using DNSFilter's web content filtering capabilities and proprietary algorithms, managers can choose specific categories of websites to be blocked such as media streaming, social networking, adult content, and more. It offers an API, which lets businesses integrate the software with several third-party systems.
