CYA|DNS Intercept

Protect Against Online Threats

Traditionally, preventing malware and botnet attacks can be costly and labor intensive – requiring expensive hardware appliances deployed on site. With CYA|DNS Intercept™, this is a thing of the past. By using CYA|DNS Intercept™ as your recursive DNS provider, we enable you to seamlessly add malware/threat detection and prevention capabilities in minutes.

CYA|DNS Intercept™ uses over 66 data sources and global cloud threat intelligence in order to provide up to the minute data and prevention of threats on your network – even allowing you to deny further CnC (command and control) callbacks when an infected device is introduced into your network.

100% Uptime. Guaranteed.

CYA | DNS Intercept™ ’s massive global anycast network has the most global advertised peers in the industry. No need to worry about your projected headcount five years from now, your estimated network usage during peak hours, or that new satellite office you’re opening up in Japan. We’ve got you covered no matter what the present or future holds.

What does this mean?
We’ve engineered an intelligent, global anycast network with over two dozen points of presence across the globe. This allows us to automatically scale, heal, and route your requests to the most responsive location, guaranteeing 100% uptime.

Dynamic DNS

CYA|DNS Intercept™ provides support for networks with dynamic IP addresses. Currently, we support Dynamic DNS hostnames from DynDNS, DNS-O-Matic, No-IP, Namecheap, HE Tunnelbroker, HE FreeDNS, DNS Park, Dynu and Afraid.org Free DNS.

Simply enter your dynamic hostname into our dashboard and we will seamlessly and transparently process all the updates from your updater client, even through IP changes.

Restrict Access

While the internet is increasingly becoming a key component of the curriculum, unfiltered access can result in students accessing inappropriate or harmful content. CYA|DNS Intercept™’s content filtering component allows you to introduce and enforce an acceptable use policy in minutes, without requiring any hardware appliances or software installed on each device.

Start building your web content filtering policy by selecting the categories you want to block. Simply tell CYA|DNS Intercept™ what type of websites you want to block – Adult Content, Illegal Content, Streaming Media, Chat & Instant Messaging, Social Networking, etc. – and we’ll do the rest. Our proprietary internet filtering algorithms intelligently categorize sites so you don’t have to constantly maintain a list of blocked sites. You can even enforce Google SafeSearch, YouTube restricted mode, and block uncategorized/unknown sites so nothing slips through the cracks.

Additionally, CYA|DNS Intercept™  is the only content filtering provider that has an intelligent learning algorithm which allows for real-time categorization of unknown domains. This crucial piece of technology is what allows CYA|DNS Intercept™  to achieve the highest rate of content filtering effectiveness in the industry.

Manage Bandwidth

By implementing CYA|DNS Intercept™ on your network, you can control which categories or domains your users can access. This level of control allows you to block bandwidth intensive sites such as streaming media, peer to peer, file sharing or even access to copy written content. In addition to protecting network devices and users, CYA|DNS Intercept™ allows you to free up valuable bandwidth to keep your business operating at lightning speed.

Infinite Scalability

CYA | DNS Intercept™ is able to secure and filter many thousands of devices instantly via a deployment process that takes less than five minutes. Thanks to our extensive global anycast network, there are no site-specific settings to be concerned with – simply apply our DNS resolvers at all of your locations and you’re done!
