“DNSFilter was created to resolve the ineffectiveness found within legacy solutions, and we are honored to be recognized as a winner of the prestigious SINET16 Innovator Award,” said Ken Carnesi, CEO and Co-founder, DNSFilter. “We’re changing the way people think about security via DNS – making the internet safer and more productive. This recognition validates our unique ability to take a behavioral approach to threat detection to stop attacks before they intrude on the network.”

DNSFilter provides DNS security powered by machine learning that uniquely identifies 61% more threats than competitors on an average of seven days earlier, including zero-day threats. Over 15,000 organizations trust DNSFilter to protect millions of end users from phishing, malware, and advanced cyber threats. The SINET16 recognition comes on the heels of the company’s acquisition of Guardian last month, combining best-in-class DNS layer security with Firewall + VPN to more effectively protect user privacy and organizations against web-based threats.
