What is DnsWarden?

DnsWarden is a powerful DNS firewall designed to protect organizations against advanced cyber threats that abuse the DNS protocol. It works by analyzing and blocking malicious DNS requests, preventing compromised devices on your network from connecting to dangerous domains that host malware, phishing attacks, botnet C2 servers and other threats.

Key features of DnsWarden include:

• Real-time blocking of requests to known malicious domains, botnet C2 servers, phishing sites, and other attack infrastructure.
• Protection against DNS tunneling techniques used by malware to exfiltrate data or establish covert channels.
• Machine learning engine to detect anomalous DNS traffic associated with malware or lateral movement in the network.
• Custom threat intelligence integration to block newly identified attack domains.
• Reports and alerts providing visibility into suspicious/blocked DNS activity.
• Easy deployment as a DNS forwarder without needing to change clients’ DNS settings.

With its multilayered security approach and rich visibility into DNS traffic, DnsWarden enables organizations to stop a broad range of cyberattacks that abuse DNS, eliminating a major attack vector for threats in the network.
