Rewst
AUTOMATION FOR MSPs

Rewst, an automation platform designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), integrates DNSFilter to streamline security workflows. Automate DNS policy management, domain whitelisting, and other security tasks to reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency.

BOOST OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

Automate DNS policy management and reduce manual work with seamless integration into your existing workflows. Rewst enables MSPs to automate routine tasks like onboarding, offboarding, and policy updates, freeing up your team for higher-priority initiatives.

REDUCE TICKET VOLUME

Say goodbye to repetitive support tickets. Rewst automates the unblocking of websites and other policy updates, drastically reducing the number of tickets escalated to your engineering team.

SECURE POLICY CONTROL

Ensure technicians only modify specific DNSFilter policies without risking broader system access. Rewst gives you granular control, allowing for security and peace of mind while still empowering your team to work efficiently.

Active Directory
SUPPORT 500K USERS

Our Sync Tool enables you to scale up to 500,000 Active Directory users. As your team grows, we have the scale to support you. DNSFilter also provides detailed information on sync logs, including any errors that may have occurred during a sync. We also give you more than one viewing mode and a free text search in the logs.

IMPLEMENT POLICIES

Apply policies at the group and user level. More versatility means more ways to implement a policy. There are seven different layers in our policy hierarchy. If you have an employee who needs to be exempt from their department filtering policy, you can create a custom policy just for them. Or, you can keep it simple and apply the policies at the group level—your deployment will fit your use case.

PERSONNEL CHANGES

After a five-minute setup, your Active Directory will be synced with DNSFilter. Any changes you make to your on-premise or cloud AD will be reflected in your DNSFilter dashboard—this includes syncing of dynamic groups. So if someone moves from the IT department to the sales department, you won’t need to manually change their policy or push any changes—everything will be reflected in your instance.

IMPLEMENT CUSTOMER USER GROUPS

You want to see your Active Directory instance reflected in DNSFilter, but do you want to be completely tied to it? Choose between the manual or managed options for policy enforcement depending on your preference. Do you want total control, or do you want to rely heavily on Active Directory? You’ll have complete flexibility.

SIEM and SOAR

SIEM & SOAR

WHAT IS DATA EXPORT?

Our Data export feature allows users to export query log data to be utilized by a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or other tool of their choice. Exporting DNSFilter data allows an organization to aggregate relevant data from multiple sources and then take action.

WHAT INTEGRATIONS ARE SUPPORTED?

DNSFilter's Data Export supports Amazon S3 buckets and also Splunk. Many SIEMs are able to pull data from an S3 bucket enabling many tools to access the exported data from DNSFilter.

Single Sign On

Single Sign-On (SSO)

WHAT IS SSO?

Single Sign-On is an authentication protocol that allows users to sign into different software systems using a single identity. This identity is provided by third-party identity providers like Okta, OneLogin, or Azure AD.

The application you’re trying to authenticate with sets up a trust relationship with the identity provider that already has your authentication credentials. A certificate shared by the identity platform and the software you’re trying to access is used to sign identity information being shared by the two systems.

IS SSO THE SAME AS ACTIVE DIRECTORY?

Active Directory and single sign-on (SSO) are different. Active directory is an on-prem directory service or cloud-based using Azure AD. SSO a cloud-based, web app identity extension point solution. SSO is an identification/authentication service while Active Directory is a full-fledged users and resources management technology.

HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH SSO ON DNSFILTER?

We support a lot of SSO providers, ensuring that setting up SSO on your own is easy and straightforward.

Account owners can simply enter their 0Auth 2.0 credentials from an IdP in the SINGLE SIGN-ON section of the SETTINGS page of their DNSFilter account. Once the values have been entered correctly, SSO can be turned on.
