Content Access with DNS-Filtering

Based on PowerDNS, the filtering engine uses threat intelligence to block access to known bad domain names, those that resolve to known bad IP addresses (i.e. IP blocking), those that depend on known bad name servers and domains that correspond to known botnet command and control (C2) servers. It allows the use of multiple threat categorization lists and supports major threat-intelligence providers. Applying policy at the DNS level is highly scalable and avoids having to deploy expensive DPI equipment in the core network, saving your budgets and increasing network performance.
