DNS as Your First Line of Defense

Domain names, the internet’s heart, are increasingly exploited by malicious actors for various cybercrimes. Selectiva Services recognizes this vulnerability and positions DNS as the pulse of internet activity. With Protective DNS, security teams gain a powerful tool to thwart threats before they even reach the doorstep.

Defense in Depth

Protective DNS operates on the principle of defense in depth, seamlessly complementing existing security infrastructure. By focusing on DNS, organizations can fortify their security strategy and create multiple layers of protection. This proactive approach is instrumental in preventing many cyber threats, such as ransomware, phishing attacks, and Command and control (C2C) activities.

Visibility into DNS Traffic

One of the key advantages of Protective DNS is the enhanced visibility it provides in DNS traffic. This capability strengthens an organization’s security posture and ensures compliance with CERT-In mandates on logging. Detailed insights into DNS activities empower security teams to analyze, monitor, and respond to potential threats swiftly and effectively.
