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.

Frequently Asked Questions

DNS Security Services protect your network by securing the Domain Name System—an essential layer of internet infrastructure often targeted by cybercriminals. These services monitor, filter, and authenticate DNS requests to block access to malicious domains, prevent phishing, and stop data leakage. Without DNS-level protection, your business remains exposed to a range of threats that can bypass traditional security systems.

From national data protection laws to global standards like GDPR, many organizations across the Middle East must now meet strict regulatory requirements. Data loss prevention plays a critical role in ensuring compliance by controlling how sensitive data is handled, alerting on policy violations, and generating audit-ready logs and reports. Whether you operate in finance, healthcare, or government, dns solutions ensure your data is governed in line with local and international mandates.

NAC solutions help businesses comply with key Middle Eastern cybersecurity regulations, including HIPAA, SAMA, and GDPR. They enforce strict security policies, mitigate security risks, and ensure that only compliant devices connect to the network. Automating security enforcement and access control, NAC helps organizations meet regulatory requirements related to data protection, network security, and incident response

Industries handling sensitive data and critical infrastructure benefit significantly from NAC. These include finance, healthcare, government, retail, oil and gas, and telecommunications. NAC helps financial institutions prevent fraud, ensures compliance in healthcare with data protection laws, and secures government networks against cyber threats.

Our NAC solutions are designed to detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts in real time. Whenever an untrusted or non-compliant device tries to connect, NAC solutions automatically enforce security policies to block or limit access based on predefined rules. This prevents lateral movement of threats, stops potential breaches at the entry point, and alerts security teams for further investigation if needed.

Deployment timelines vary based on network size, complexity, and integration needs, but our team ensures a smooth and efficient implementation. We follow a structured deployment process that includes network assessment, policy configuration, and phased rollout to minimize disruption. In many cases, businesses can start seeing results within weeks of implementation.

Getting started is simple. Our experts will assess your network security needs, recommend the best NAC solution, and guide you through deployment. Contact our team for a consultation, and we will help you build a tailored NAC solution that strengthens your security posture and meets compliance requirements.
