Block threats before they can reach your network and endpoints. DNS-layer security, like a patching program, is foundational for improving security posture.
In its report for DNS security, GigaOm named Cisco a leader, citing its prebuilt integrations, APIs for custom integrations, flexibility, and service offerings.
DNS Defense includes DNS-layer security plus cloud DLP and malware protection. If you need a complete SSE, including ZTNA, upgrade to full Cisco Secure Access.
