Announced at RSAC, Award Honors Top InfoSec Innovators Worldwide

San Francisco, CA - April 24, 2023 – DNSFilter today announced it was named a market leader in the internet filtering category as part of the 2023 Global InfoSec Awards presented by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.

“Businesses trust DNSFilter to protect millions of end users from phishing, malware, and other advanced online cyber threats—and we do it at scale,” said Ken Carnesi, CEO and Co-founder DNSFilter. “Our technology is the most reliable protective DNS filtering solution available on the market. We are honored to receive this recognition as we continue to innovate and enable more businesses to stay safe against today’s sheer volume of internet threats.”

Today, more than 70% of breaches impact the DNS layer. Threat actors use malicious links to spread attacks, send signals back to malicious servers, and scam end users. As the first line of defense in a cyberattack, DNSFilter’s ML-powered domain categorization capabilities enable organizations to identify, filter and block exposure to phishing, malware, scams and other unwanted content—even zero-day threats—that come from malicious domains.

“DNSFilter embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

This is Cyber Defense Magazine’s tenth year of honoring InfoSec innovators from around the globe. The awards honor startup, early-stage, later-stage, or public companies in the InfoSec space that have a unique and compelling value proposition for their product or service.

From Weakest Link to Strongest Defense: Building a Human-Centric Cybersecurity Approach

There's a contradiction in cybersecurity: humans can be both the weakest link and the strongest. For instance, humans are highly susceptible to deception. This is an age-old problem; look no further than the Trojan Horse of Greek lore or the Ghost Army of World War II. In the latter case, Allied forces created inflatable tanks and faked radio traffic, among other deceptive tactics across Europe, to confuse, distract and divert enemy forces and sa...
