Cut off malware at the DNS layer.
High-fidelity DNS protection that neutralizes Command & Control traffic, blocks known-bad infrastructure, and catches emerging campaigns on first contact — without sending your DNS traffic to someone else's cloud.
The most critical phase of an attack happens silently over DNS.
DNS is the phonebook of the internet — and malware's primary communication channel. When a device is infected, it almost always calls home over DNS. Block that conversation and you render the malware useless, immediately, without remediation.
Beaconing traffic ransomware uses to receive its execution commands from the attacker.
Malware cycling through thousands of random domains to find an active listener.
Initial payload delivery routed through malicious domains.
Sensitive data encoded into DNS queries to slip past firewalls.
Endpoint protection (EDR) catches malware after it lands. Blocking a compromised device's DNS communication with the attacker is the fastest way to neutralize the threat — no remediation required.
A hardened DNS gateway for your network.
We don't just block "ads" — we block malicious infrastructure with enterprise-grade intelligence. Open Source is the engine; IntelliThreat is the fuel.
Built on a battle-tested, network-level DNS threat-blocking engine — lightweight, reliable, and fast to stand up.
- Low resource footprint — high traffic loads on modest hardware or in the cloud
- Ease of deployment — rapid integration into existing infrastructure
- Reliability — a stable, community-proven code base
Standard open-source lists stop at ad-blocking and generic malware. We inject our proprietary, massive-scale threat feeds directly into the filtering layer.
- 5M+ unique domain indicators — malicious, C2, malvertising
- Known-bad infrastructure used by botnets & ransomware groups
- Real-time blocking of active C2 endpoints
- Emerging campaigns caught before they hit public blocklists
Enterprise-grade DNS protection.
Redirects known-bad requests to a null address, killing the attacker connection before it forms.
Resolves queries locally — cutting latency and hiding your internal network topology.
Detailed, SIEM-exportable query logs so your SOC can audit behavior and find infected hosts.
Exact IP, domain and hash matching — not keyword guessing — minimizing false positives.
A scalpel, not a sledgehammer.
Legacy cloud DNS security makes you pay enterprise premiums for a black box. Here's how IntelliThreat PDNS stacks up.
| Legacy Cloud DNS | IntelliThreat PDNS | |
|---|---|---|
| Threat intelligence | Volume undisclosed | 5M+ indicators, updated hourly |
| Emerging threats | Standard detection cycles | First-contact detection |
| Deployment model | Cloud forwarding — all traffic leaves your network | Local, edge or private cloud — keep control on-premise |
| Cost structure | High per-IP licensing, multi-year contracts | Cost-effective, fixed cost |
| Visibility | Limited logs | Granular logging, exportable to SIEM |
| False positives | Higher risk — broad cloud blocklists | Low — specific indicator matching |
| Data & privacy | Query logs held by a third party | Your DNS logs stay with you |
A specialist feed, not a generalist one — we hold the exact IPs and domains tied to botnets and C2, and catch campaigns on first contact.
Runs locally or at the edge, so your network keeps resolving even if the upstream provider hiccups — with full data sovereignty.
No per-IP enterprise licensing or multi-year lock-in — top-tier intelligence at a fixed, predictable cost.
Built for the way your team works.
Not a replacement for EDR or firewall — a specialized DNS layer that catches the beaconing they miss.
Traditional gateways take weeks. Secure your DNS in hours and gain the 5M+ database immediately.
Consolidates multiple feeds and appliances into one lightweight service, lowering TCO.
Blocked-query logs surface silently infected hosts communicating with threat actors.
No black boxes. Total control.
- The "Ferrari" of threat intel — the 5M+ database that stops sophisticated C2 and ransomware
- See exactly what's blocked via dashboard or SIEM integration
- On-prem or cloud deployment — or both
- No enterprise premiums for basic DNS filtering
- Agility — deployed and tuned by your own security team
