About the Webroot DNS Protection

Webroot DNS Protection is a cloud-based security service that provides DNS-layer security and web content filtering for businesses. It acts as a first line of defense against cyber threats by intercepting DNS requests and blocking access to malicious or undesirable websites before they can even load. Leveraging Webroot's BrightCloud Threat Intelligence, which uses advanced machine learning and AI, the service identifies and categorizes billions of domains in real-time, effectively stopping malware, phishing, botnets, and other web-borne attacks. It offers granular control through customizable policies, allowing administrators to filter by over 80 URL categories, create universal block/allow lists, and enforce acceptable use policies across networks, groups, devices, or individual IPs, including guest WiFi. With options for network-level deployment and Roaming Clients for individual endpoints, Webroot DNS Protection secures users both on and off the corporate network, including those using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and IPv6. It aims to reduce infection cleanup costs, enhance productivity, and provide detailed reporting on web usage and blocked threats.
