Why DNS Security Matters for Your Business

Despite being a critical part of the internet, Domain Name Systems (DNS) are quite susceptible to cyber attacks. Cybercriminals often exploit DNS to redirect users to malicious websites, leading to massive phishing attacks and data thefts. In 2024 Q1 alone, DNS attacks have increased by 80% year-on-year—costing around $950,000 per attack.

DNS Security solutions protect your organization by securing DNS queries and blocking access to malicious domains, ensuring legitimate domain resolution. DNS security solutions bring a layer of authentication and control to DNS traffic, preventing various DNS attacks like DDoS, DNS spoofing, DNS tunneling, and more.

At Paramount, we implement advanced DNS threat protection frameworks tailored to your IT requirements. From real-time threat filtering and secure DNS architecture to advanced monitoring and access controls,we help organizations across the Middle East enhance DNS security and minimize data risks.

Comprehensive DNS Security Features

Security Extensions

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC)

Protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning. DNSSEC authenticates DNS responses using digital signatures, ensuring users are directed to legitimate websites and preventing attackers from hijacking domain resolutions.

Security Extensions

DNS Filtering

Block access to malicious domains. Our DNS filtering technology proactively prevents users from accessing harmful websites and phishing pages to reduce the risk of malware infections.

Security Extensions

DNS Firewalls

Strengthen your perimeter at the DNS layer. DNS firewalls inspect and control outbound DNS queries, enabling policy-based filtering to prevent users from reaching potentially harmful websites.

Security Extensions

DNS Monitoring

Spot hidden security issues in DNS traffic. DNS protection services offer real-time monitoring to detect anomalies and uncover hidden threats lurking in DNS servers, blocking connections to risky sites.

Benefits of Securing Your DNS

Prevents DNS Attacks

DNS security solutions protect your organization from common attacks like DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and tunneling, ensuring threat actors can't exploit the foundation of your internet access.

Facilitates Compliance

A simpler path towards compliance. DNS security plays a critical role in meeting regulatory frameworks such as NCA, GDPR, and HIPAA by enforcing secure name resolution, logging DNS activity, and enabling visibility into data flow and access points.

Minimizes Risk Exposure

Stop threats at the source. Blocking access to malicious domains and filtering suspicious DNS queries, DNS protection services are designed to prevent malware infiltration, reduce attack surfaces, and stop data exfiltration attempts.

Preserves Integrity

Ensure integrity and authenticity of DNS records. Validating DNS responses and enforcing trusted sources, DNS security safeguards the integrity of DNS data and delivers protection against redirection or hijacking.
