DNS Detection and Response: Stop Threats Before They Start – Series 2
Continuing our conversation from Series 1, where we discussed DNS attacks, Series 2 looks at our Infoblox-based solution. Before we delve into the solutions, imagine this scenario and timeline when you have become the target of an attack.
- The attacker scans and surveys your network
- Sends phishing communications
- Starts probing the network
- Finds some vulnerabilities and identified weak points
- Gains access using the weaknesses
- Establishes communication with the home-base
- Moves around the network looking for your crown jewel, your important data
- Eureka! Attacker found the crown jewel
- Sends you a ransomware communication
- You realize that it is happening to you too
Up until the tenth step you had no idea as to what was happening. The timeline could have been weeks or months, but there was no indication. This simplified attack timeline applies to businesses of all sizes. If it happens to large companies, imagine the situation for small ones. And keep in mind that big companies do business with small companies. But what if, instead of finding out at Step 10, we are able to identify the beginning of the attack in Step 1 and prevent the attack from going forward?
One Solution That Covers All Devices
Small and mid-sized businesses often work with limited IT staff, tight budgets, and a wide mix of devices—from office computers to cloud servers to remote laptops. That mix makes it hard to manage security across everything.
DNS protection simplifies the challenge. Every internet-connected device uses DNS. Whether it’s a Windows desktop or a cloud-based system, DNS activity passes through a central point. That gives us a single location to monitor, analyze, and stop threats—right at Step 1. The attacker’s survey scan can be identified and addressed early.
With Securely Yours, you don’t need to install software on every machine or manage multiple tools. Our DNS filtering services protect all devices through their DNS traffic—no matter where they are.
Fill the Gaps Traditional Tools Miss
Most organizations already have firewalls and antivirus software. But those tools aren’t designed to inspect DNS activities. If an attacker uses DNS to hide or move, you might not see it.
Securely Yours uses advanced detection techniques and machine learning to analyze DNS traffic and flag risky or unknown domains. We detect domain generation algorithms (DGAs), data exfiltration, and Zero Day DNS domains—brand new domains attackers register to avoid detection.
We tie DNS activity back to users and devices so we can pinpoint where an issue started. It’s not just filtering traffic—we’re giving you visibility into attacker behavior.
Protect Your Brand from Lookalike Domains
Attackers create fake domain names that look like your real ones, hoping to trick customers, vendors, or employees.
Securely Yours monitors for these lookalike domains. If we detect one, we alert you and help you respond. We even offer follow-up monitoring. It’s a simple way to protect your brand without adding more tools.
Also Built for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
You don’t need a large security team or complex infrastructure. Our DNS protection is affordable, effective, and easy to manage.
Securely Yours provides:
- Real-time monitoring of DNS traffic
- Automatic blocking of malicious and suspicious domains
- Protection from Zero Day and unknown threats
- Device and user tracking for faster investigations
- Lookalike domain alerts and brand protection
All powered by trusted Infoblox DNS technology and backed by our cybersecurity experts. DNS Detection and Response gives you a clear advantage—before, during, and after an attack.
Get Ahead of the Threat
Cybersecurity is hard for all businesses—especially small ones with limited IT resources. But attackers target the least resistant.
Ask yourself:
- Are you catching threats that use DNS to get in or out?
- Can you stop new domains that haven’t been flagged?
- Do you know which users or devices are making risky DNS requests?
If not, contact us. Securely Yours helps you close those gaps with DNS Detection and Response—simple, effective, and backed by experts.
