t DNS Firewall
With t DNS Firewall enabled, DNS queries for your nameservers get sent to a local threatSHIELD Security DNS server where the legitimacy of the requests is checked, and malicious traffic is blocked.
t DNS Firewall
t DNS Firewall makes running reliable DNS easy by protecting and accelerating any organization’s DNS infrastructure. This is accomplished through a particular process in which the t DNS Firewall relays queries pertaining to one’s nameservers to a local threatSHIELD Security server specifically designed to handle DNS inquiries. Once at this server the requests are verified and reviewed to ensure that they are legitimate, and if they are in fact malicious traffic they are then promptly blocked. If the proper DNS response is available in TSS’s cache, TSS will return the response to the visitor. If the DNS response is not available in cache, TSS will query the provider’s nameservers in the background to fetch the DNS response and send it back to the visitor.
With the ever-increasing demands on IT, security and networking teams, and cost effective tools that reduce workloads are always welcome. One such tool is the DNS Firewall. For those not familiar with how t DNS Firewall works, and the benefits it provides, read on.

How It Works
Educating your end users
Following an attempt to connect to a bad domain you can enlighten your end-user as to the danger they have just avoided e.g. potentially connecting to a phishing site. This can either be done via a landing page which they are redirected to, or by reaching out to them directly; turning a bad decision into a positive teaching opportunity.
It’s easy to apply & simple to maintain
Once this firewall has been applied to the DNS all the clients on your network, including IoT devices, are protected from accessing malicious sites. This minimizes deployment resources. Meanwhile the data feeds, against which potential connections are checked, are continuously updated. This removes the need for upgrades and updates.
Freeing up your busy team
Utilizing this kind of firewall automatically mitigates some of the serious issues that may arise on your network as a result of it being compromised. This provides your teams with additional time to focus on resolving other pressing network and security issues.
Brand protection
For ‘trusted’ brands online security breaches can have a huge impact on business. One only has to look to British Airways in the UK and Costa Rica and their significant data breach to understand the consequences. It is vital to have multiple layers of security to keep company networks and users safe.
Gaining insight to be proactive
It provides you with more visibility into compromised users or clients on your network. This enables you to take immediate action without the time lag of either being notified by a third party, or discovering the issue at a later date, be that days, weeks or months after the attack.
Lower cyber risk insurance costs
Insurance (and its associated costs) probably don’t fall under your department’s responsibilities or budget. However, it’s highly likely that someone in your organization will be pleased to discover that implementing t DNS Firewall can reduce your cyber risk insurance costs.
