Cache poisoning is a form of DNS poisoning done by corrupting DNS cache entries with false data for malicious intent.
CNAME is a DNS record that maps an alias name to the actual name or another canonical domain name.
DNS Tunneling is a malware technique that allows an attacker to establish a command-and-control (C2) channel to a victim’s computer.
DHCP is the network protocol responsible for automating the configuration of devices on a network.
IPS is a network security tool that monitors a network for malicious activity, reports it when it happens, and takes action to prevent it.
Learn how the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves domain names into IP addresses to enable Internet navigation and communication.
Discover how DNS filtering blocks threats and enforces policies at the DNS layer to improve network security and protect users from online risks.
Learn how DNS over HTTPS (DoH) encrypts DNS queries for private, secure browsing. Discover benefits, use cases, and how DNSFilter helps.
Learn how DNS over TLS (DoT) encrypts DNS queries to enhance privacy, prevent spoofing, and protect internet activity from surveillance.
DNS poisoning, or DNS spoofing, misdirects users to fake sites. Learn the signs, examples, & how to prevent attacks with real-time protection.
Understand how DNSSEC protects DNS data integrity by authenticating responses and preventing DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
Learn how Protective DNS (PDNS) blocks malicious domains by analyzing DNS queries with threat intelligence, supporting zero trust security.
