“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.”
