/in Internet Security
SAN MATEO, Calif., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Building on the success of its proven Newly Observed Domains (NOD), Newly Observed Hostnames (NOH) and other real-time Protective DNS (PDNS) solutions, Farsight Security, Inc., the leading cybersecurity provider of DNS Intelligence, today announced that the company will preview new Protective DNS data-sets based on real-time technologies that enable enterprises to defend against external threats at its virtual booth at the Black Hat USA 2021 hybrid event, taking place virtually and in-person in Las Vegas July 31-August 5, 2021, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
To counter fast-evolving threats, enterprises need effective, easy-to-use Protective DNS solutions based on real-time intelligence. The new data-sets leverage the observational power of Farsight’s extensive real-time sensor network to unlock new defensive layers. As the largest and most successful source for PDNS intelligence, Farsight will offer new data-sets that will contain novel observations or new activity related to Internet identifiers. Customers will select a set of feeds that best align with their security posture.
“Contrary to recent headlines, DNS works too well,” said Paul Vixie, Farsight CEO and also co-inventor with Vernon Schryver of the Response Policy Zone (RPZ) implementation of DNS Firewalls. “As defense improves, offense inevitably also improves, and the only way we’re going to get sustainably ahead of the bad guys is if we can invalidate and crush their DNS content as fast as they can create it. Takedown at the far-end doesn’t work, and takedown at the near-end doesn’t scale. This is takedown-in-the-middle, and we at Farsight are very proud of our continuing leadership role in DNS-related digital defense.”
