Centripetal has announced the expansion of its product line with the introduction of CleanINTERNET® DNS. This innovative solution aims to proactively safeguard businesses from web-based cyber threats, setting itself apart from traditional DNS filtering products that rely solely on blocklists. CleanINTERNET® DNS leverages advanced threat intelligence from multiple providers to prevent users from accessing malicious websites and harmful content.
The Domain Name System (DNS), often considered the internet's directory service, translates domain names into IP addresses, playing a crucial role in online communication. Despite its significance, DNS remains largely unnoticed by most users. However, it can be a conduit for malicious activity, with hackers exploiting it to redirect and defraud unsuspecting users. Human error is a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches, with over 80% of incidents resulting from such mistakes and more than half of employees falling victim to phishing emails that direct them to malicious websites.
"The proactive use of intelligence is the only viable solution to help organizations navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape. DNS, often overlooked as a mere utility service, wields immense power in safeguarding sensitive data," said Jonathan Rogers, COO of Centripetal. "The launch of our DNS solution will set the new standard for the application of the majority of the globe’s threat intelligence into an enterprise’s DNS solution. A single attack can cripple an entire network within minutes, making DNS protection a critical linchpin in our defense against cyber adversaries."
CleanINTERNET® DNS offers a cost-effective and comprehensive solution for enterprises, integrating the world's largest threat intelligence collection to protect remote users from accessing malicious sources and ensuring the integrity of network and data from remote assets. The key benefits of this solution include:
