DNS filtering is like a caller ID system for the Internet that can also block spam or malicious calls. It uses threat intelligence and categorization databases to identify whether a requested domain is safe or risky.
In short: DNS filtering checks the website’s category or reputation before the user connects, blocking anything that violates the policies you set, such as social media during work hours, pornography or known malicious domains. DNS Filter is a first line of defense against cyberattacks.
At Landis Technologies we use DNS Filter to provide our DNS filtering services.
