Managed DNS and web security
Malicious sites, phishing pages, and command-and-control traffic blocked before the connection is made, on every device, in and out of the office.
No pitch, no contract. The intro call is for understanding your situation, not selling you a solution.
Most attacks need to phone home. DNS security hangs up on them.
Nearly every attack involves a lookup: the phishing link someone clicks, the malware that reaches out for instructions, the fake login page. If the name never resolves, the attack stops there.
DNS-layer security is one of the highest-value controls for the least disruption, and it protects laptops on hotel Wi-Fi exactly as well as desks in the office.
What's included
DNS filtering
Requests to known malicious, phishing, and newly registered domains blocked before any connection is made.
Roaming protection
A lightweight agent on laptops keeps the same protection off-site, without a VPN.
Web content policy
Categories you choose to block or allow, by group, so policy matches how your business actually works.
Command-and-control blocking
Infected machines that try to reach their operator are cut off and flagged for investigation.
Visibility
Reports of what was blocked, which devices tried, and what that suggests about your risk.
Integration
Works alongside EDR and email security so the layers cover each other's gaps.
What you get
Clicked links that go nowhere
A phishing link opens to a block page instead of a credential harvester.
Protection that travels
Home offices and coffee shops get the same filtering as headquarters.
Early warning
A device trying to reach a bad domain is often the first sign it is infected.

Common questions
Will it block sites our staff need?
Policies are tuned to your business. Legitimate sites that get caught are allowed within minutes.
Does it replace the firewall?
No. It complements it. The firewall controls traffic; DNS security stops bad destinations before traffic starts.
Does it slow down browsing?
No. Resolution is as fast as, or faster than, your ISP's DNS.

You might be thinking…
Only while the device is behind it. Laptops at home, in hotels, and in coffee shops have no firewall. DNS security goes with the device. It also stops malware that's already inside from reaching its operator, which a perimeter firewall often misses.
Policies are tuned to your business, and legitimate sites that get caught are allowed within minutes. In practice, staff notice nothing except the phishing links that stop working.
When to call now rather than later
DNS filtering would have turned that click into a block page. The next one is coming.
Every hotel network is hostile. This is the cheapest protection you can give a laptop that leaves the building.
You'd be surprised. The first week's report is usually the moment this service sells itself.
