Stop Attackers from Using DNS Against You
Palo Alto Networks Advanced DNS Security transforms how organizations defend against threats by providing real-time, AI-powered inspection of DNS traffic. Because attackers frequently use DNS to facilitate command-and-control communication, data exfiltration, and domain hijacking, this software leverages predictive analytics and Precision AI to identify and block malicious activity inline. By performing dual-layer inspection on both DNS requests and responses, the software can detect and neutralize never-before-seen threats—such as DNS tunneling and domain generation algorithms—that traditional security measures often miss. This proactive, automated approach ensures robust protection across the entire network, effectively securing a critical and often overlooked attack surface.
