Why DNS protection?

Domains play a central role in many phases of a cyberattack, making DNS Protection crucial for maintaining security. By blocking malicious and unwanted domains, DNS Protection shields users from malware, phishing, and other types of attacks. It also helps prevent data loss and can stop an ongoing attack by breaking the attack chain. Several reports indicate that approximately 70% of all cyberattacks exploit the DNS layer, underscoring the importance of robust DNS protection.

Malware and Phishing
If a domain is identified as malicious or associated with phishing attempts or campaigns, it is automatically blocked to protect users from potential threats.

Newly Registered Domains
Newly registered domains are blocked because they are often used in attacks and fraud before they have established a reliable reputation.

Poor Reputation
Databases, also known as threat feeds, are updated multiple times daily to track domains with a poor reputation. Domains with a history of malicious activity or connections to harmful IP addresses are automatically blocked.

Category-Based Blocking
Domains are blocked based on their category, such as if they belong to categories like Malware, Phishing, or Pornography.

Geographical Blocking
Domains are blocked based on their geographical location, especially if they are registered in countries with high levels of cyber threats.

Custom Block Lists
Domains can be manually or automatically added by Tech Stn based on their sources and analyses to enhance security.

Zero-Day Attacks
Domains linked to new and unknown attacks or vulnerabilities are proactively blocked through real-time analysis using Machine Learning (ML).
