Selecting a Protective DNS Service

Every time we browse the internet or send an email, DNS is quietly at work behind the scenes—making those connections possible. But bad actors are exploiting that same system to launch attacks, and that’s where Protective DNS (PDNS) comes in. This guide from NSA and CISA outlines how PDNS can shield networks by blocking access to malicious domains before damage is done. It also breaks down what to consider when selecting a provider, recognizing there’s no one-size-fits-all in cybersecurity defense.
