Stop DNS Attacks

LookingGlass DNS Defender® threat mitigation appliances are carrier- and enterprise-grade DNS (Domain Name Services) protocol-specific firewalls that protect against DNS attacks, accelerate DNS performance, provide insight into DNS traffic, and deliver the flexibility you need to protect both your DNS and your entire enterprise from evolving threat actors.

Stop Embedded Malware Activation

DNS Defender appliances, as a component of LookingGlass Dynamic Threat Defense™, stop malware from reaching command and control (C2) servers for instructions. Carriers and enterprises have hundreds of recursive DNS servers that handle original DNS requests from clients. Clients get infected with malware. Most malware requires a DNS request to find a C2 server. Domain block lists on DNS Defender threat mitigation appliances installed between clients and recursive servers stops malware in its tracks: without a C2 server, malware is disabled. LookingGlass Dynamic Threat Defense provides automatic blocking by updating DNS Defender block lists at regular intervals with malware domains discovered by LookingGlass Virus Tracker™.

THE PROVEN DNS PROTOCOL-SPECIFIC FIREWALL

LookingGlass™ DNS Defender is protocol-specific DNS firewall deployed with success defending large scale networks for many years, offering 7-layer security, enhanced performance, an open architecture, and actionable insight. It prevents lost revenue, intellectual property (IP), and productivity all while allowing you to keep your existing DNS infrastructure – no rip and replace.

MY DNS IS OUTSOURCED SO I DON’T NEED PROTECTION

If you think you’ve outsourced your DNS, talk to the people responsible for it. It’s easy to outsource your authoritative1 DNS servers, but you’ve almost certainly retained your recursive2 DNS servers. Your recursive DNS servers can have even more vulnerabilities than the authoritative servers you’ve outsourced. But more importantly, talk to us about how ScoutVision, DNS Defender, and your recursive servers working together blocks the activity of spear phishing attacks and advanced malware penetrating your organization.
