Heimdal DNS Security Network
Filters DNS traffic locally and records activity across internal networks.
For internal networks that need local DNS filtering, traffic records and cloud application controls.
Filter DNS traffic at local servers
Internal networks need to handle DNS traffic without necessarily redirecting requests through an external resolver. They also need useful records of traffic activity when investigating network behaviour, alongside a way to address unsanctioned cloud applications.
Heimdal DNS Security Network adds filtering to local DNS servers and logs network traffic activity. It combines filtering with machine-learning behavioural analysis, host-based intrusion prevention and AI-driven threat detection. CASB functions identify, classify and eliminate unsanctioned cloud applications.
Where Heimdal DNS Security Network is used
The module is suited to applying DNS filtering within internal networks while retaining local DNS servers. Traffic logging provides records for investigating network activity, and the threat detection functions combine behavioural analysis with filtering. It also supports cloud application control by identifying, classifying and eliminating unsanctioned applications.
Fits within these solutions
Suitable environments
Heimdal DNS Security Network applies to on-premises and cloud-based environments that use local DNS servers. It is relevant for networks containing BYOD and IoT equipment, where DNS traffic filtering and traffic records are required across connected devices.
Benefits
Local DNS Handling
Applies DNS filtering without routing DNS requests to vendor resolvers.
Traffic Investigation Records
Provides logged network activity to support investigation of network behaviour.
Cloud App Oversight
Provides a way to identify and address unsanctioned cloud applications.
Combined Detection Methods
Brings behavioural analysis, intrusion prevention and threat detection into DNS traffic filtering.

How we help
Armstrong can discuss DNS filtering requirements, the role of local DNS servers and the need for traffic records or cloud application controls. Following discovery, Armstrong can recommend whether Heimdal DNS Security Network is suited to the organisation's network environment.
