Cloud DNS Filtering
AI Functions
- Automated categorization of domains using machine learning and AI to classify new and unknown sites
- Real‑time detection of malicious domains, phishing, malware, command‑and‑control traffic, and DNS tunneling
- Adaptive filtering that evolves daily based on behavior and big‑data updates
- AI‑powered reduction of false positives and tuning of filtering rules
Product Core Functions
SafeDNS delivers cloud-based web filtering and DNS-layer threat protection by intercepting DNS queries before devices connect to the internet. It enforces content filtering, application-level blocking, and threat prevention using a global anycast network, with no hardware installation required—just redirect DNS to SafeDNS resolvers. The platform supports HTTPS/HTTP filtering, policy-based blocking by category (e.g., malware, inappropriate content, social media), and AppBlocker for denying web access tied to specific applications. Roaming agents enforce policies even off-network. SafeDNS compiles over 60 content categories and updates its massive categorization database daily by processing millions of domains through machine learning. Compliance coverage includes frameworks such as CIPA, HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. Analytics dashboards visualize usage, policy violations, top domains visited, and filter performance, and administrators can configure schedules, time limits, and per-group rules. Full solution works across on‑premise, hybrid, or remote environments and scales from single-site SMBs to ISPs and MSPs managing many networks.
Key Features
- Cloud-based Protective DNS filtering blocking malware, phishing, ransomware, and inappropriate sites
- AI/ML-driven domain categorization updated daily, covering billions of URLs
- AppBlocker to block access associated with specific applications
- 60+ customizable content categories, safe search enforcement and blocklists/allowlists
- Roaming client agents for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android to enforce policies off‑network
- Scheduling and time-limit controls for Internet access
- Comprehensive reports & analytics: per-user and per-domain activity
- Compliance-ready presets for education and regulated industries
- Global Anycast DNS infrastructure for fast responses and resilience
Ease Of Use
- Setup: Redirect network DNS to SafeDNS resolvers or deploy roaming agents; no hardware required and policy configurations can be live within minutes.
- Daily usability: Dashboards highlight blocked categories, usage patterns, and policy violations; workflow is intuitive and requires minimal manual review.
- Team onboarding time: Small businesses can be fully onboarded within an hour; larger networks or MSP-managed environments may take a day to define groups, rules, and schedules.
- Integration support: Integrates easily via DNS redirection; APIs and SDK/ X‑API options enable integration into existing security tools or DLP systems; logs can feed SIEM, RMM, or reporting platforms.
- Administrative demand: Low ongoing maintenance—filtering updates are automatic, false positives are minimized via adaptive AI tuning, and annual configuration review is sufficient for most environments.
Use Cases
- Small businesses with minimal IT staff seeking simple yet robust web security without additional infrastructure
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs) needing scalable, multi-tenant web filtering for many client sites
- Schools and educational institutions requiring compliance with CIPA and protection from inappropriate content
- Remote or hybrid teams using mixed devices and networks needing consistent filtering regardless of location
- Nonprofit organizations or SMBs under regulatory compliance (e.g., healthcare, finance) needing audit-ready filtering and reporting
