DNS Protective solutions for enterprises

For full, complex enterprise security (with integration, policy management, internal DNS security, etc.), Enterprise DNS Security Solutions are needed like:

• Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector
• Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense
• BlueCat DNS Edge
• Cisco Umbrella (full platform mode)
• Palo Alto Networks
• Prisma Access (with DNS Security)

DNS Firewalls

DNS Firewalls intercept and block harmful DNS queries at the network level.

Infoblox DNS Firewall — One of the leading enterprise DNS firewall solutions, providing internal DNS threat protection, policy enforcement, and malware domain blocking.

BlueCat DNS Edge — Focused on internal DNS control, segmentation, and detection of suspicious DNS queries inside corporate environments.

Cisco Umbrella — While known for DNS-layer security, it also acts as a DNS firewall by enforcing domain-based security policies across users and devices.

Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector — Offers DNS firewall capabilities combined with web security and threat intelligence, protecting users before threats reach endpoints.

Cloudflare Gateway DNS — Provides DNS firewall services through malware and content blocking at the DNS resolution level, with centralized policy management.

DNS Monitoring and Analytics

DNS Monitoring and Analytics detect abnormal or malicious DNS behavior.

Splunk (with DNS monitoring apps) — Powerful platform to collect, analyze, and detect anomalies in DNS traffic across large networks.

Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense — Provides detailed DNS analytics, threat detection, and automated response based on DNS behavior.

Cisco Secure Analytics (formerly Stealthwatch) — Monitors DNS traffic to detect threats like domain generation algorithms (DGAs) or exfiltration.

Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM (with DNS analytics modules) — Uses machine learning to identify DNS anomalies linked to threats.

Corelight (Zeek-based sensors) — Network security monitoring platform that deeply analyzes DNS transactions and flags suspicious patterns.

DNS Threat Intelligence Feeds

DNS Threat Intelligence Feeds provide updated lists of dangerous domains.

Here are the main DNS Threat Intelligence Feeds used by cybersecurity teams:

Cisco Talos Intelligence — Provides extensive real-time threat data, including malicious domain lists.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Threat Intelligence — Offers domain-based threat indicators integrated into security platforms.

Recorded Future — Supplies threat feeds with detailed risk scores on domains, IPs, and related infrastructure.

ThreatConnect — Aggregates and enriches domain reputation data for automated security decisions.

Anomali ThreatStream — Provides feeds of malicious domains and supports integration with SIEMs and firewalls.

Proofpoint Emerging Threats Intelligence — Includes domain threat lists focused on malware, phishing, and botnets.

IBM X-Force Exchange — Delivers curated threat intelligence, including high-risk domain data.

Spamhaus Domain Blocklists — Well-known blocklists identifying spam and malware-related domains.
