Heimdal DNS Security - Network and Endpoint

Heimdal’s DNS Security - Network and Endpoint solutions protect against DNS-based attacks and monitor for malicious domain requests, helping to prevent data exfiltration and other threats.

Both tools are based on DarkLayer Guard, a 2-way traffic filtering engine that supports fully customizable white/blacklisting.

The DNS Security – Endpoint module filters all network packets based on DNS request origin and destination.

It replaces the manual or DHCP set DNS values with IP Addresses from the Client Host IP Address range, thus effectively telling the computers to resolve the DNS requests themselves.

DNS Security - Endpoint blocks untrusted connections and prevents users from accessing malicious websites. The tool also makes sure that data is not automatically filled into online forms belonging to fraudulent websites.

To support true DNS over HTTPS filtering, the tool encrypts DNS traffic by passing all DNS queries through a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure encrypted session. This way DNS Security - Endpoint helps companies mitigate the risk of Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks and DNS spoofing.

Key benefits of DNS Security Endpoint

• DNS, HTTP and HTTPs Traffic Filtering
  Heimdal’s DNS Security Endpoint identifies emerging and concealed cyber-threats at all connection levels. It helps stop cyberattacks that could bypass traditional antivirus measures.
• Cross-Compatibility with Any Security Solutions
  This solution is designed to integrate with any other security solutions already in place.
• Building a Safer Internet for Educational Organizations
  Heimdal DNS Security complies with the UK Government’s statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education. The tool bloks exploitative content (fed by the Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit and the Internet Watch Foundation).

The DNS Security – Network module uses Machine Learning on device-to-infrastructure communication to detect and stop attacks that firewalls can’t see.

The solution uses Heimdal’s Predictive DNS™ technology, an AI & ML algorithm that can predict if a domain is malicious before it will host any malicious content.

Hybrid DNS can be used to secure traffic locally on any DNS server, without the need to reroute to our resolvers, which is useful for both on-prem and cloud-based environments.

Key benefits of DNS Security Network

• Complete Device Coverage
  Protect and maintain BYODs, IoTs, and every other equipment linked to a company’s network.
• Granular Network Visibility
  DNS Security Network’s traffic logging tool helps see what everyone is up to and prevents attacks before they land on endpoints.
• Building a Safer Internet for Educational Organizations
  Heimdal DNS Security fully complies with the UK Government’s statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education. The solution blocks exploitative content (fed by the Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit and the Internet Watch Foundation) and ensures a safer digital environment for schools and colleges.
