Threat intelligence, DNS detection and response, and DNS firewall: The future-proof defense every network needs

When it comes to incident response, every network admin knows the drill—endpoints trip alarms, firewalls block traffic, SOC dashboards light up with alerts.

Everyone uses them, everyone knows the risks, and yet everyone keeps showing up at their parties.
