Why you need a DNS Firewall

A DNS firewall is an invaluable asset to businesses of all sizes. It provides protection from malicious attacks by detecting and blocking potential threats before they cause harm, monitoring outbound traffic to detect data breaches or exploits, limiting customer access to certain websites/resources as well as restricting any harmful or inappropriate content - making a DNS firewall an integral component of any company's security strategy.

Cytex DNS Firewall vs Fortinet

While both Cytex.io and Fortinet offer DNS firewall protection, their approaches differ significantly. Our cloud-based deployment makes it easily accessible without any hardware installation, while Fortinet requires on-premises appliances or virtual machines, demanding more technical expertise.

When it comes to threat detection, we definitely take the lead. We leverage machine learning and multiple threat intelligence feeds to identify and block even the latest malicious domains, phishing scams, and malware distributors. Fortinet primarily relies on static filtering based on pre-defined lists, potentially missing emerging threats.

Overall, Cytex shows that our DNS firewall is an outstanding service, offering superior performance and robust security measures.
