     Info

    Overview

    BlueCat DNS Edge Service Point for AWS extends the capabilities of DNS Edge providing visibility and control of all DNS traffic.

    Edge adds a much-needed layer of visibility, control, and detection for corporate networks under siege from an explosion of malware attacks that exploit DNS. Edge gives network and IT teams unprecedented access to DNS query data with which they can establish smarter policies, optimize traffic and meet stringent compliance and logging requirements.

    Edge reduces your attack surface. For security architects and IT staff that need to limit access to sensitive data and lock down critical systems like cloud apps and services, Edge makes it easy to ingest threat intelligence to block access to well-known bad domains.

    Edge detects malicious behavior hidden in millions of DNS queries and response activities. Cybersecurity teams seeking to detect and stop data exfiltration like tunneling, beaconing to C2 servers, or evasive techniques like DGA, use Edge's smart analytics developed by BlueCat's decades of DNS expertise to spot malicious behavior among all DNS queries across their network.

    Edge reduces time to respond and remediate breaches. For incident response teams faced with the challenge of uncovering the lateral spread of an infection and rooting out patient zero in a cyberattack, Edge makes it easy to pinpoint the origin and review the internal and external DNS activity surrounding an incident to reduce the time to resolution.

    Highlights

    • Edge adds a much-needed layer of visibility, control, and detection for corporate networks under siege by malware attacks that exploit DNS.
    • Edge detects malicious behavior hidden in millions of DNS queries and response activities.
    • Edge reduces time to respond and remediate breaches.

    What do you like best about the product?
    It's a solution intended to block request DNS before establish an HTTP connection wich impove the security over the network, I like that it can manage my internal and External DNS requests and at the same time protect my business
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I would like to see options to implement a cloud DNS protection for my services something like Cloudflare, I undesrtand that is a different solution but that would be great to see.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It's managing our internal and external DNS resolution in order to protect our network, it blocks all DNS resolution to treath web sites like malware, rasonware etc. We love to think that it's like a DNS proxy for internal requests.
