DNS Wall
AI-powered DNS security & threat intelligence platform
Every attack starts with a DNS lookup. DNS Wall stops malicious domains at that first step — before any HTTP connection happens — combining an AI risk engine, real-time threat intelligence and a policy-driven DNS firewall. Built and operated by the same team that runs production infrastructure for clients every day.

Built for enterprises, MSSPs, ISPs, financial institutions, government, SOC teams and cloud providers.
Block the lookup, and the payload never arrives
Malware beacons, phishing pages, ransomware C2 and cryptominers all resolve a domain before they do anything else. Filtering at the DNS layer stops the attack chain at its cheapest, earliest point — protocol-independent, for every device on the network, with no endpoint agent required.
- Stops threats before the HTTP connection — the malicious server is never contacted.
- AI-powered domain scoring — every domain gets a risk score, not just a list lookup.
- Real-time threat intelligence — millions of domains analyzed daily across our feeds and sensors.
- Cloud & on-prem — SaaS, self-hosted, Docker, Kubernetes or fully air-gapped.
- API-first, multi-tenant, SOC-ready — built for teams that operate security, not just view dashboards.
Resolver in the path, intelligence behind it
Clients resolve through DNS Wall's recursive resolvers. Each query is checked against live threat intelligence and the AI risk engine in-line, at low latency; verdicts, policies and analytics flow to the console and your SIEM.
Coverage across the whole malicious-domain lifecycle
Malware & C2
Malware distribution domains, command-and-control infrastructure, botnet domains, ransomware and cryptomining endpoints — blocked at resolution time.
Phishing & Typosquatting
Phishing domains and look-alike registrations targeting your brands, with typosquatting detection on the domains your users actually visit.
Emerging Threats
Newly registered domains, parked domains, DGA (domain generation algorithm) detection and fast-flux infrastructure — the categories static lists miss.
Domain Risk Scoring
Every domain carries a composite risk score, so policies can act on risk levels instead of binary lists.
Scoring domains no list has seen yet
Feed-based blocking catches known threats; the AI engine is for the domain registered this morning. It combines signals no single feed contains:
Reputation & Categorization
AI risk analysis, domain reputation and automatic categorization across content and threat classes.
Registration Intelligence
WHOIS intelligence and registration-risk signals — age, registrar patterns, ownership anomalies.
Structural Analysis
DNS entropy analysis for algorithmically generated names; infrastructure correlation across IPs, name servers and certificates.
Behavioral Analysis
Query-pattern behavior over time — beaconing rhythms, resolution churn, fast-flux movement.
Enforce policy, then investigate with the same data
DNS Firewall
Recursive DNS protection with policy-based filtering: category and geo blocking, allow/block lists, wildcard rules, Safe Search enforcement and family protection profiles — per tenant, per network, per group.
Threat Hunting
IOC search, passive and historical DNS, reverse IP/NS/MX pivots, domain relationships and an infrastructure graph — the questions a SOC actually asks, answerable in one console.
Analytics
Query statistics, top blocked domains, user activity, threat timeline, an executive dashboard and compliance reports — evidence for both the SOC and the audit.
API
REST API for everything in the console, plus a threat feed API, domain lookup API, bulk domain scanning and native SIEM integration.

DNS Wall vs. traditional approaches
| Static blocklist resolver | Endpoint-only security | DNS Wall | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newly registered / unseen domains | Missed until listed | Seen only after connection | AI-scored at first lookup |
| Coverage | Devices using the resolver | Managed endpoints only | Every device on the network — IoT and BYOD included |
| Point of interception | DNS | After connection is made | DNS — before any connection |
| Threat hunting | — | Endpoint telemetry only | Passive DNS, pivots, infrastructure graph |
| Deployment | Varies | Agent rollout per device | SaaS, self-hosted, Docker, Kubernetes, air-gapped |
| Multi-tenancy for MSSPs | Rare | Per-product | Built in |
DNS Wall complements endpoint security — it does not replace it. The layers catch different stages of the attack chain.
Runs where your constraints live
| Option | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS | Fastest start; point resolvers and go | Multi-region, high availability, managed by us |
| Self-hosted | Data-sovereignty and compliance requirements | Same codebase as SaaS; your infrastructure, your data |
| Docker | Single-site and edge deployments | Compose-based install |
| Kubernetes | Horizontal scale, ISP and MSSP footprints | Helm-based; scales resolver and engine tiers independently |
| Air-gapped | Government and isolated networks | Offline threat-feed bundles, no external calls |
- Enterprise plumbing included: RBAC, SSO, audit logs, webhooks and multi-tenant administration.
- Built for scale: low-latency filtering, high availability, horizontal scaling, multi-region operation.
- GDPR-ready: EU entity, data-processing agreements, and a self-hosted path where query data never leaves your network.
Fits the stack you already run
Verdicts and events flow into your existing SIEM and security tooling; threat feeds and lookups are consumable from anything that speaks REST.
Frequently asked questions
How is DNS Wall different from a Pi-hole or a blocklist resolver?
Blocklists stop known-bad domains; DNS Wall additionally scores unknown domains in real time with its AI engine — entropy, WHOIS, infrastructure and behavioral signals — and adds threat hunting, analytics, multi-tenancy and enterprise controls (RBAC, SSO, audit logs) on top.
Does it replace our endpoint security?
No — it complements it. DNS Wall blocks the attack chain before a connection exists and covers unmanaged devices; endpoint tools handle what executes on the host. Together they cover different stages.
Can it run fully offline?
Yes. The air-gapped deployment consumes signed offline threat-feed bundles and makes no external calls — built for government and isolated-network requirements.
Is it multi-tenant for MSSP use?
Yes — tenants, per-tenant policies, delegated administration and per-tenant reporting are native, not bolted on.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on query volume, deployment model and tenancy. Contact us for pricing, a live demo or a trial environment.
