Security: PlatOps SmartDNS Firewall Ensures 100% Clean Traffic
Control What Hits Your Network
The SmartDNS Firewall ensures that your name servers are protected from malicious or unwanted traffic. You can specify exactly how much bandwidth needs to be sent to your origin server, through the use of rate limits. These rates are adjustable dynamically through an API connection - so you never have to worry about scaling between peaks and troughs in traffic.
Advanced DDoS Mitigation for DNS
Cybersecurity attacks targeting the domain name system (DNS) are becoming more frequent than ever before. The Domain Protection Service by PlatOps enables organizations to protect themselves from these kinds of attacks - using security that has been tested against very large-scale DDoS attacks before. When malicious traffic is aimed at your web servers, this will defend them from getting attacked again by intercepting and absorbing the attack within a worldwide network of servers - shielding you from getting affected too.
Hide Your Origin IP Addresses From Attackers
SmartDNS Firewall also hides the true origin IP address of provider's nameservers behind PlatOps IP addresses, ensuring they cannot be targeted by attackers.
Speed and Global Distribution
Respond Quickly From Anywhere
With SmartDNS Firewall, PlatOps caches DNS records at the edge of our globally distributed network; this ensures that queries are resolved lightning-fast on every continent and in every major city regardless of origin server location.
Keep DNS Online When Your Nameservers Are Down
Even if you're having issues with your DNS Servers, SmartDNS Firewall is capable of answering for you by using outdated information cached from previous requests. So as long as your website stays up-and-running, there will be no interruption in web traffic even when your originating domain name servers are down.
DNS Firewall Vs. Authoritative DNS
Both these services are advanced when it comes to DNS Security and Performance. PlatOps Authoritative DNS is a fully managed, hosted DNS service. On the other hand, SmartDNS Firewall lets you continue to use your own infrastructure while retaining ownership of your domain records.
SmartDNS Firewall is great for hosting providers, who can benefit from using this solution to manage their clients' infrastructure; cloud service providers; SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) providers; registrars, registries; ISPs; anyone managing large authoritative domains—or even just one small domain!
