Why DNS matters
DNS is the foundation of how we navigate the Internet — and one of its most exploited weak points.
What Is DNS Security?
The Domain Name System (DNS) acts like the Internet’s address book — translating domain names (like hafnova.com) into machine-readable IP addresses.
Without DNS, accessing online services would be like navigating with raw GPS coordinates.
It is seamless for users, but this invisibility also makes DNS a prime target for cybercriminals.
DNS cyberattacks explained
DNS is a critical attack surface as cyber attackers exploit it to:
- Redirect users to fake websites (phishing, spoofing)
- Exfiltrate data via DNS tunneling
- Launch DDoS attacks through DNS amplification
- Hide malware communications (C2 servers)
- Hijack traffic with Man-in-the-middle (MITM) or cache poisoning
DNS is too often overlooked by traditional security tools. It’s a blind spot attackers know and use.
How Hafnova Protects DNS
We protect DNS traffic at its core — for users and security teams:
For Users:
- No configuration needed — encrypted, filtered DNS on any network
- Protected on the go, at work, or on public Wi-Fi
For Security Teams:
- DoHzel: Encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT), policy enforcement, log-level visibility
- CyberIntel: Real-time threat discovery across domains and digital ecosystems
- ThreatDB: 100M+ IoCs updated continuously, from trusted global sources
Together, Hafnova ensures DNS traffic is private, verified, and aligned with organizational policy, while enabling real-time detection and mitigation of threats—even before a connection is made.
