A protective DNS is a service that protects users from visiting malicious websites. Watch our video as we explain more about Protective DNS and how ThreatSTOP can help you.
What is Protective DNS?
A Protective DNS is a type of filtering system that protects users without censoring websites. It blocks access to websites that are known to be malicious and/or involved in cyber attacks. The IP addresses and sites that are blocked by protective DNS are associated with phishing, malware, ransomware, and other types of cybercrimes. Protective DNS is endorsed by the US government and required by contractors.
Can DNS be Hacked?
Some types of protective DNS can be hacked. This can happen if the protective DNS has infrastructure or software vulnerabilities. Hackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit these weak areas. This is why it is vital to use a reputable company that has an excellent reputation and strong track record. You need a company that uses encrypted communication, regular secure software updates, and monitors for unusual activity.
