Enhance Zero Trust Security DNS plays a fundamental role for any company wishing to adopt a Zero Trust model. Zero Trust:The Growing Challenge Zero Trust security initiatives often fall short when they depend on traditional security products that address separate aspects of the infrastructure. These efforts fail to fully benefit from a key security element: the DNS layer. Virtually all network traffic relies on DNS, so a robust, purpose-built DNS security solution can provide the visibility, analytics and microsegmentation capabilities needed for an effective Zero Trust strategy. The Potential of DNS-Focused Zero Trust Security With its foundational role in the network, DNS can play a vital role in enterprise network security. Placed early in the traffic flow, DNS essentially “sees everything”, making it an important first line of defense. EfficientIP‘s comprehensive DNS security suite provides a specialized layer of in-depth defenses that fill the gaps left by traditional solutions. The result: a dramatically improved ability to detect threats, enforce security policies, and manage access as part of a Zero Trust strategy - plus an opportunity to reduce costs using automation and process simplification. Zero Trust Microsegmentation: Putting DNS Application Access Control at the Forefront EfficientIP solutions provide highly granular filtering capabilities that let you use DNS to control “allow-deny” access to vital applications at the individual client level. This provides more targeted and flexible protection than the traditional perimeter-driven firewall approach, reduces attack surface, mitigates lateral moves and overcomes broken access control issues. Centralized information for accurate automated data sharing SOLIDserver’s dedicated IPAM provides a central repository for IP-related data along with information about endpoints, applications, and security zones. In a Zero Trust architecture, this repository allows sharing of information about connected devices, IP addresses, and identities with various network security components to support increased automation, improve enforcement of security policies, and better protect the organization’s users, apps and data. Intelligent threat detection with adaptive countermeasures The DNS security solution incorporates user behavior analysis and threat intelligence to detect suspicious activity. Adaptive countermeasures are applied to limit the risk of false positives, prevent data theft and ensure service continuity. These include blocking traffic from an attacking IP, limiting request rates from specific IPs, and quarantining suspicious IPs. Fortify your Zero Trust Architecture: Fuel SIEMs and SOCs with enriched DNS security events DNS provides a wealth of useful information about network usage, client behavior, and who is accessing apps and data. The EfficientIP solution can share this data with tools such as analytics and AI-enabled threat intelligence systems to generate insights about the most important events, which can be acted upon by your Security Information and Event Management system. Ultimately, this approach helps security operations centers continuously refine policies and stay on top of changing network usage and threats.
