DNS Protection Benefits

DNS Protection is a fully cloud-based, easy-to-deploy and manage security service that enables administrators to leverage the Webroot BrightCloud® Web Classification Service—the most powerful, up-to-date URL database of its kind—to accurately and automatically block outbound connections to malicious or suspicious sites and malicious inbound network traffic. DNS Protection avoids latency on internet requests while drastically reducing the number of threats that hit the network. Because traffic is filtered at the domain layer, the service is tamperproof and provides access control and protection regardless of the location of the network communication or users in question. Additionally, SecureAnywhere DNS Protection covers the IPv6 space, not just IPv4, thereby proactively protecting against threats across a variety of network configurations.
DNS Protection gives admins visibility and control over outbound internet traffic and blocks malicious inbound communications, thereby increasing overall network security. By enabling admins to block productivity drains like streaming media sites, as well as illegal or HR-prohibited web categories, the service can improve bandwidth and productivity and help prevent legal issues, hostile work environment charges, and compliance violations.
