Webroot SecureAnywhere DNS Protection

Cloud DNS filtering & network perimeter security against web threats

Product Overview

Webroot DNS Protection safeguards users by enforcing domain-level security policies. Operating at port 53 DNS layer, it halts malware execution, command-and-control botnet callbacks, and malicious phishing sites before network packets reach client endpoints.
