Network security has taken another step forward by incorporating machine learning at the DNS layer, according to vendor DNSFilter.
Ken Carnesi, chief executive officer and co-founder at DNSFilter, said that by resolving the inefficiencies found within legacy solutions, it had simplified threat protection and content filtering
The approach has netted the growing solution provider a top-10 place in the Cyber Defense Baby Black Unicorn Awards for 2022.
“Our mission is to change the way people think about security at the DNS layer,” Carnesi said in the announcement.
DNSFilter incorporates machine learning in its DNS threat protection, which it says means it can identify around 61% of threats in-house, and more zero-day attacks in progress than competitors.
The company said it can identify compromised domains an average of seven days before they appear on other external threat feeds, deploying a first line of defence at the DNS layer that could both identify and block end user exposure to phishing, malware and advanced cyber threats.
The Top 10 Baby Black Unicorn Award Winner for 2022 prize aims to spotlight cybersecurity companies with the potential to become worth $1 billion in market value in three to five years, the company said.
By 2025, zero trust will be the dominant architecture model, fully replacing outdated perimeter-based models. Security controls will focus increasingly on the workforce and workloads rather than just the workplace, leading to enhanced protection across diverse environments.

By 2025, generative AI will be integrated into nearly every business and department, significantly boosting productivity. However, this will also introduce new security risks that organizations will need to address. Simply automating tasks won't be enough. A focus on secure automation and responsible AI practices will be essential. Additionally, creating cyber exploits will become easier, as the barrier to entry lowers. Individuals will need to t...
