Protective DNS Service
With the ever inventive nature of cyber-attacks, businesses of every size have to be continuously creative to remain ahead of the security threats. In fact, if a company fails to establish proper security measures, it may see great losses in both money and reputation and operation as a result of a cyber attack. However, businesses can expect and prevent security threats in real time through a protective DNS service, ensuring their employees, users and clients are safe.
To understand how protective DNS services work, let’s first understand what DNS is and how it works. As its name implies, a DNS is a naming system used by computers to translate domain names as we understand them (spelled out using letters, such as www.ovatekweb.com into IP addresses, which are a series of numbers.
IP addresses are used to identify and communicate with each other. DNS server is to allow humans to enter a domain name and let computers find the correct address by contacting the server; otherwise, it would be impractical for humans to learn and memorize every IP address out there that corresponds to a domain they want to visit.
The digital landscape is always changing and to be ahead of the curve, one must accept and forecast change. In the world of SEO, the best competitive edge you can possess is foresight.

Key Features
The National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have outlined some essential attributes to seek in a protective DNS services provider. We’ve explained a few of those features in more detail.
Machine Learning
Machine learning is a necessary tool for optimal protective DNS because it greatly enhances the ability of the DNS resolver to identify and react to various types of cyber threats. For instance, historical data and behavioral analysis can set up an algorithm to create a “comfortable range” of user behavior on online entities. When users start to display abnormal behavior, like suddenly accessing more traffic to a certain domain, or if users’ internal behavior deviates from the norm, the service will raise an alarm that alerts the cybersecurity team to the potential threat and prompt swift action.
This level of analysis also enables protective DNS services to anticipate cyber threats that haven’t yet been widely reported or identified. Some algorithms, such as Ovatek’s, can even analyze on the fly unknown domains, which will enhance the detection of zero-day threat and stay ahead of new cyber attack types.
Integration
Protective DNS is only a part of a company’s cyber security arsenal. For this reason, it needs to be capable of smoothly working with other components of a multi-layered security strategy. To truly adopt a holistic approach to cybersecurity, multiple solutions need to be combined and work together to safeguard the enterprise, such as protective DNS, firewalls, antivirus software and so much more.
Moreover, when a protective DNS service can easily share newly identified threat or attack pattern with the rest of the security world in real-time with other security tools, that’s good news for the entire security ecosystem. This is a form of communication that is critical in the coordination of responses and countermeasures on different platforms.
Customization
A protective DNS service should be capable to adjust to the needs of the organizations that use it. Especially larger companies might have very comprehensive security policies—group specific, network specific, or device specific. Optimized protection DNS solutions offer a high level of customization, enabling organizations to create a security framework that meets their needs, risk appetite, and operational requirements.
Other companies might have to develop security policies tailored to each user or establish granular policies to permit or deny access to certain domains. Some may have to follow stringent privacy rules because of the kind of business they are in. Regardless of the characteristics of an organization, the users should be able to customize their protection DNS service to tackle the security issues they are confronted with in their specific field of operation.
