Benefits of DNS-Based Protection

This protection method is efficient and fast because it doesn’t require scanning. It simply ensures you’re using a secure DNS, often provided by your cyber security partner, rather than the one from your Internet provider. This setup is especially useful for remote work, as it works regardless of your location, whether you’re at home, in an Internet cafe, or in the office.

Moreover, DNS-based protection can be implemented on a firewall level, which means it can also cover BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and contractor devices. It provides a consistent layer of protection across all environments.

Another benefit is the ability to track Internet activity, which can offer insights into employee productivity. Some solutions are developing productivity reports based on this data, providing valuable information on how Internet resources are being used within your organisation.

Antivirus and DNS-based protection, such as those offered by Webroot, can cover about 47% of your security needs. It’s crucial to work with your IT or cybersecurity partner to implement essential controls recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), adding another layer of protection. With end-user awareness training and additional measures, you can achieve comprehensive protection for your business.
