DNS Web Filtering with Cloud Based Protection

Value Proposition

Problem

Uncontrolled internet access is a high-risk activity for any business, regardless of size. Faced with today’s sophisticated attacks, endpoint security alone is no longer enough to stay safe from modern cybercrime. In fact, a recent report from EfficientIP found that 77% of businesses around the world suffered at least one DNS cyberattack in 2018. What’s even more worrying: on average, businesses got hit with as many as seven attacks throughout the year. Per the report, the average cost of a single attack was $715,000 USD. When you do the math, it’s clear how DNS Protection for servers, endpoints, and other networked devices could make all the difference to a business’ success (and survival).

Solution

Our DNS agent was built for the future, supporting IPv6, the next generation of internet protocol. This means you can protect your users with DNS security on modern networks, like public hotspots, for long into the future. As adoption of the new protocol continues to rise, it becomes increasingly essential your network protection can handle this type of traffic. Webroot^® DNS Protection recently moved to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for increased security, performance, and reliability. It now runs on the Google Cloud’s high-redundancy, low-latency networks in 16 regions worldwide to maximize performance. Our DNS protection also benefits from Google's built-in DoS prevention and mitigation, which enables us to stop attack traffic before it hits the agent core. And because regional deployments can auto-scale with spikes in traffic, even drastically increasing loads won’t increase wait times for requests
