Engineered to keep your DNS secure.
Experience matters when it comes to protecting your DNS infrastructure. For over a decade, Neustar has led the way in secure managed DNS solutions and cyber-attack defense.

For example, UltraDNS is built on a closed non-BIND platform, with patented technologies less prone to hijacking, spoofing and viruses. We also conduct periodic drills with upstream providers and technology partners to fine-tune our responses to DNS-related security incidents. All the while, we’ve made sure to cultivate the highest levels of expertise. Members of our DNS security team have played key roles in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the international body concerned with making the Web less risky.

 
Neustar's Managed DNS Security Operations Center
Our SOC is staffed round the clock by engineers who blend innovation with proven tactical know-how.

• Collect, monitor and classify security threats related to DNS
• Perform security-alert analysis to understand the dangers associated with DNS
• Respond to DNS security incidents with countermeasures that mitigate threats and lower your future risks

When your infrastructure is under attack—and sooner or later it happens to everyone—swift action by seasoned hands can make all the difference.

 
DDoS Mitigation
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are not only becoming more frequent, they’re also larger and more complex. With proprietary technologies and the hands-on expertise of our SOC, UltraDNS defends your DNS from attacks. To complete your cyber defenses we offer SiteProtect, an on-demand service which defuses attacks in our cloud-based network of scrubbing centers, leaving only clean Internet traffic flowing to your Web infrastructure.

DNSSEC Support
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) guard the transfer of data within the DNS protocol, making it difficult to forge a reply before the real DNS query arrives. These measures reduce the chances of cache poisoning and the serious damage it causes—stolen user names, passwords and personal information. Using digital signature technology to detect attacks, DNSSEC creates keys to authenticate replies to DNS server queries.  UltraDNS is enhanced to ease the challenges of cryptography, new policies and procedures, DNS server upgrades and larger domain zones.
