Webroot™ Business DNS Protection
Secure your DNS connection against cyberattacks
Powerful protection. Easy recovery. That’s cyber resilience
What is DNS Protection?
In the digital landscape, the Domain Name System (DNS) acts as the internet’s phone book, translating user-entered text into unique internet protocol (IP) addresses that allow browsers to access desired websites. However, traditional DNS protocols were not crafted with security in mind, leaving them susceptible to a myriad of cyber threats, including cache poisoning, DDoS attacks, DNS hijacking, botnets, command and control (C&C) attacks, man-in-the-middle exploits, and more.
Enter DNS Security Solutions: A Cloud-Based Fortress Against Cyber Threats
Embracing a cloud-based DNS security solution redirects users’ web traffic through a fortified gateway, providing businesses with the ability to finely tune and enforce web access policies. This not only ensures regulatory compliance but also acts as a robust defense mechanism at the network’s edge. By halting 88% of threats before they can breach the network or endpoints, DNS protection becomes a pivotal shield against a spectrum of potential cyberattacks.
Why businesses need DNS protection
Managing the risks associated with internet access is a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, relying solely on endpoint security is no longer sufficient to ensure protection against modern cybercrime. A recent study by EfficientIP revealed that a staggering 90% of businesses globally fell victim to at least one DNS cyberattack in 2023. What’s even more alarming is that, on average, businesses experienced up to seven attacks throughout the year.
According to the same report, the average cost of a single attack amounted to $1.1m USD. When considering these figures, it becomes evident that investing in DNS Protection for servers, endpoints, and other networked devices is not just a security measure but a strategic decision that could profoundly impact a business’s success and, ultimately, its survival.
Frequently Asked Questions about Business DNS Protection
Files & Folders Protected Item type backs up files and folders on the device. For full system recovery, we recommend using our Disk Image addon to create a bootable disk image backup of the entire system.
Our backups deduplicates all data that is backed up to the same Storage Vault. If you run a Disk Image backup and a Files & Folders backup to the same storage location, there is a very high amount of overlap that will be deduplicated together, reducing your total storage requirements.
Yes, if you enable the “Take filesystem snapshot” checkbox. This checkbox is enabled by default, and takes a VSS snapshot that allows it to back up open and in-use files, from a consistent point-in-time snapshot of your disk.
On macOS and Linux, Comet will back up open files without any special configuration.
You can backup to you own local drive storage and our cloud storage.
Protect against ransomware or accidental deletions with free storage immutability. Backups are a favorite target of cybercriminals because encrypting both your primary systems and secondary backups increases the odds that you’ll pay their ransom. Our immutable storage makes it impossible for anyone to access, alter or delete your data stored for a set retention period (minimum 30 days), adding failsafe protection to your multilayered approach to cybersecurity.
There are no additional fees for egress of API calls, so you get straightforward pricing that eliminates the guesswork associated with using AWS S3 and other hyperscale storage services. Test and restore your backups without fear of egress fees
