DNS Posture Management

Detect DNS misconfiguration

DNS misconfigurations represent a significant yet often invisible threat to organizational cybersecurity and operations. Without proper visibility, issues like expired domains, improper record settings, and inconsistent TTL values can remain hidden until they trigger service outages or security breaches. 

DNS Posture Management continuously scans your entire DNS estate across all providers, automatically identifying misconfigurations that traditional monitoring tools miss. By establishing baseline policies and proactively detecting violations, organizations transform from reactive firefighting to preventative management.

The platform flags potential issues like dangling CNAME records, zone transfer vulnerabilities, and improper delegation before they impact DNS services. 

This comprehensive visibility reduces incident frequency, accelerates resolution times, and prevents the cascade of minor DNS issues into major business disruptions. 

Monitor DNS drift

DNS drift occurs when unintended or unauthorized changes are made to DNS configurations, leading to potential security vulnerabilities, misrouting of traffic to malicious websites, or service disruptions. 

Examples of DNS drift include the accidental deletion of a DNS record, unauthorized modifications to zone files, or changes that could conflict with established security policies, such as disabling DNSSEC.

DNS Posture Management addresses this challenge by continuously monitoring DNS configurations and detecting deviations from a defined baseline or expected state. When drift is identified, the system generates alerts and provides remediation guidance, enabling teams to quickly address the issue. 

For example, if a critical record is modified to point to an incorrect IP address, the platform detects the change and notifies administrators before it impacts users. Automating the detection of DNS drift, organizations can maintain configuration consistency and reduce the risk of misconfigurations.

Continuous compliance

DNS Posture Management helps organizations meet compliance requirements by ensuring their DNS infrastructure is property configured and continuously monitored to secure against cyberthreats.

Many regulations — including NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR — require organizations to protect critical infrastructure, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain audit trails. 

By identifying misconfigurations, unauthorized changes, and security gaps, DNS Posture Management helps businesses reduce risk exposure and enforce security policies. Continuous monitoring provides clear visibility into DNS hygiene, change history, and risk assessments. 

For industries with stringent regulatory mandates like financial services and healthcare, ensuring proper DNS security helps prevent data breaches, downtime, and DNS hijacking — all of which can lead to noncompliance penalties.

Certificate posture management

Certificate posture management has become essential as organizations increasingly depend on digital certificates to secure communications, authenticate systems, and maintain customer trust. 

Without proper visibility and control, expired or misconfigured certificates can trigger unexpected outages, security vulnerabilities, and compliance violations.

DNS Posture Management goes beyond traditional DNS security by seamlessly extending visibility to certificate management across your digital ecosystem. Our integrated approach enables organizations to continuously monitor and assess all digital certificates, preventing security risks from expired, misconfigured, or rogue certificates before they impact operations. 

The platform automatically detects weak keys, deprecated algorithms, and unauthorized issuances that could compromise your security posture. 

By unifying DNS and certificate visibility in a single solution, security teams gain comprehensive control over these critical but often overlooked infrastructure components, ensuring consistent protection, compliance, and operational resilience without deploying additional tools or increasing management complexity.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) monitoring

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) monitoring addresses the emerging security challenge posed by quantum computing capabilities that could potentially break today’s encryption standards. 

As organizations transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, maintaining consistent visibility across your DNS infrastructure becomes critical.

DNS Posture Management helps by continuously scanning and inventorying cryptographic implementations across your entire DNS estate, identifying legacy encryption that may be vulnerable to quantum attacks. 

The platform monitors your progress toward PQC adoption, flags noncompliant zones or records using deprecated algorithms, and verifies that newly implemented quantum-resistant protocols are correctly configured.

Providing comprehensive insights into your cryptographic posture, DNS Posture Management enables security teams to prioritize updates strategically, validate compliance with emerging PQC standards, and ensure business continuity as the cryptographic landscape evolves. This proactive approach prevents future security gaps while supporting an effective transition to quantum-safe DNS infrastructure.
