Is DNS Filtering the Best Cybersecurity Technology You’re Not Using?

As you may know, DNS filtering can be used to block traffic to malicious or suspicious domain names and prevent people from accessing undesirable sites—but it can also do much more.

The IDG survey of IT decision makers found that, although most are aware of DNS filtering, many are unfamiliar with the advanced features available and most lack the expertise to take advantage of them.

Those who are taking advantage of the full range of DNS filtering capabilities tend to exhibit higher levels of overall security preparedness than those who aren’t, according to IDG Research’s study of IT decision makers.

DNS filtering is inexpensive, requires no hardware, and can be purchased as a service and implemented with a few quick changes to your DNS configuration.
