Threat actor techniques are constantly evolving making it difficult for defenders to keep up. However, the usage of DNS is a common theme across various attacks. Enhancing protection at the DNS level would greatly reduce the chance of being compromised. DNS Firewall by ORYXLABS aims to fill this gap and proactively protect clients from cyber attacks. DNS Firewall acts as a first layer of defense for any organization. It checks every outbound DNS request and blocks malicious or inappropriate content in real-time. By doing so, it prevents many cyber attacks from occurring in the first place. DNS Firewall detects well-known malicious domains such as confirmed Command & Control servers or Phishing sites as well as recently created ones for malicious purposes such as newly registered domains or parked domains. Our advanced machine learning models can accurately detect DGAs and DNS tunneling/exfiltration activities on a network. In addition to comprehensive DNS security, DNS Firewall provides an easy way to filter domains based on category. For organizations looking for a comprehensive DNS Security solution, DNS Firewall can help address their needs effectively with minimal overhead. * * * Seller [ORYXLABS](https://www.g2.com/sellers/oryxlabs) Discussions [DNS Firewall Community](https://www.g2.com/products/oryxlabs-dns-firewall/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Sriram Varahan Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform") ThreatLocker Zero Trust Platform 4.8/5(514) ](https://www.g2.com/products/threatlocker-zero-trust-platform/reviews) [ ![Sophos Firewall](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Sophos Firewall") Sophos Firewall 4.7/5(869) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sophos-firewall/reviews) [ ![Cloudflare Application Security and Performance](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Cloudflare Application Security and Performance") Cloudflare Application Security and Performance 4.5/5(686) ](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudflare-application-security-and-performance/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/oryxlabs-dns-firewall/competitors/alternatives) RH Raphael H.
