Webroot DNS Protection is a comprehensive solution that offers protection for DNS connection against cyberattacks, provides total visibility into web usage, and enforces acceptable web usage policies to reduce security risk.
The domain name system (DNS) works like a phone book for the internet: every time a user types an address into a browser, DNS servers take that input and translate it into the unique internet protocol (IP) address that lets the browser access the desired site. But DNS protocols were never designed with security in mind and are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, such as cache poisoning, DDoS, DNS hijacking, botnets, C&C, man-in-the-middle, and more.
Webroot DNS Protection works at the DNS layer to prevent malicious traffic and block malware before it infiltrates your networks, endpoints, and end-users. Plus, it is the first DNS filtering product on the market to combine privacy and security by handling DNS over HTTPS (DoH) requests.

USE CASE
The “Grow your business” consulting firm faced a significant challenge when one of its 20 employees received an email from the CEO, asking them to purchase some Visa gift cards and email them so that they can be distributed by the end of the week. It was a phishing attack that could have potentially cost them a good amount of money. Soon, they realized that the firm needed a resilient solution that gives them peace of mind against the intensifying sophisticated attacks.
The firm consulted with Mario, their IT business partner, who recommended that Webroot DNS Protection is the solution that best fits their needs. With DNS-layer security their outbound network/user traffic is accurately filtered. On top of that, the deployment from the cloud-based Webroot management console is fast, easy, and straightforward, whether on network or roaming devices.
Webroot DNS Protection was the direct response to the consulting firm’s needs that adopted improved privacy, security, and overall resilience against cyber threats. Now, they leverage full internet usage visibility with complete insight into all requests made to the internet, so admins can make better-informed access policy decisions. On top of that, granular and enforceable access policies enable admins to address staff productivity, employer duty of care, and HR and compliance requirements through advanced, customizable policy controls by individual, group, or IP address.
