DNSFilter Is Now Available in the Sherweb Marketplace

We're excited to share that DNSFilter is now available in the Sherweb Marketplace, giving Sherweb's community of MSPs a simple way to add protective DNS and content filtering to the services they already deliver.

MSPs can purchase and manage DNSFilter alongside the rest of their cloud portfolio, using the same Sherweb marketplace, billing, and support they rely on every day, so they can block threats earlier and gain clearer visibility into shadow AI and risky activity across their customer environments.

Sherweb and DNSFilter share a belief that MSPs deserve security that’s simple to deploy and easy to grow with, which makes Sherweb’s 25-year track record of supporting IT solution providers a natural fit for our partners.

Closing the gap at the DNS layer

Nearly every connection a user makes, whether to a website, a cloud application, or a link in a phishing email, begins with a DNS request. That makes DNS one of the earliest and most effective places to stop threats.

DNSFilter processes DNS requests in real-time, blocking malicious and risky domains before a connection is ever established and allowing harmless connections. Threats are stopped before they reach users or endpoints. Because protection follows the user through lightweight roaming clients, it works on or off the corporate network, which matters more than ever for clients with hybrid and remote teams.

“Every threat blocked at the DNS layer is a ticket your technicians never need to open,” said Benji Germain, Vice President of Product at Sherweb. “For MSPs trying to grow without growing headcount at the same pace, that adds up fast. We brought DNSFilter into our marketplace because of what it shows partners after the block. Being able to see shadow AI and risky activity across customer environments gives MSPs something concrete to bring to their next security conversation with a client.”

DNSFilter gives MSPs flexible content filtering and policy controls, helping their clients enforce acceptable use and reduce exposure to unwanted content across every location they manage.

DNSFilter also pairs protection with visibility through behavior analytics, showing MSPs what users clicked or opened before an alert fired so they can quickly confirm whether a user was involved in a security event. The same insight surfaces shadow IT and shadow AI, the unapproved apps and AI tools employees adopt without their IT provider knowing, and flags underutilized software and SaaS subscriptions that can unlock savings for clients.

Built to complement Microsoft 365 and Defender

Many of Sherweb's partners build their practices around the Microsoft ecosystem, and DNSFilter complements these investments. Microsoft 365 and Defender protect identities, email, and endpoints, while DNSFilter adds a preventive layer upstream, stopping requests to known malicious, newly registered, and suspicious domains before Defender ever has to respond.

The result is a layered approach in which each tool does what it does best. With fewer threats reaching the endpoint, MSPs can cut down on alert noise, and their technicians can spend less time investigating incidents and more time serving their clients. For MSPs already standardized on Microsoft, adding DNSFilter is a powerful way to strengthen your security offering without reworking the stack they have already built.

The same benefit applies across the rest of an MSP's stack, since DNSFilter adds a prevention layer ahead of endpoint, email, and managed detection and response (MDR) solutions, so fewer threats reach those tools and technicians have less to chase down.

What this means for Sherweb partners

By bringing DNSFilter into the Sherweb Marketplace, we're making it easier for MSPs to add a high-value security service and grow recurring revenue across their client base. Partners can expect:

• Simplified procurement and billing through the Sherweb Marketplace, so DNSFilter fits neatly into the way they already buy and manage cloud solutions.
• Earlier threat blocking that stops phishing, malware, and command-and-control domains before users or devices connect to them, including users working outside the office through roaming clients.
• Centralized policy management from one multi-tenant, brandable dashboard, with the flexibility to set policies and receive reports for individual users.
• Visibility into risky behavior that detects unusual user activity and unauthorized AI tool usage across client environments.
• Reporting that proves value, helping partners show customers what their security spend delivers and support renewal conversations.
• Added privacy protection with DNSFilter's new Encryption and Privacy solution, which secures outbound traffic and blocks trackers for users on public and home Wi-Fi.
