Now Available: DNSWatchGO and Passport

We are excited to announce the availability of our newest user-focused security service, DNSWatchGO. WatchGuard DNSWatchGO provides DNS-level protection and content filtering that keeps your business safe from phishing, ransomware, and other attacks even when your user is outside of the network, without requiring a VPN.

Key Features

  • DNS-level detection, providing an additional layer of security to block connections to the bad guys
  • Automatically protects end users from phishing attacks and C2 connections
  • Enables content filtering by user or group with 120 pre-defined blocking categories to limit access to risky areas of the web
  • Provides immediate security awareness to heighten end user awareness after an attack
  • WatchGuard Security Experts deliver tailored analysis of the attacker, type of attack and attacker goals directly to your inbox
  • Consolidated visibility of all on- and off-network devices protected, including the content that is filtered and any malicious websites visited

 

How It Works

WatchGuard DNSWatchGO monitors outbound DNS requests, correlating them against an aggregated list of malicious sites. Requests that are determined to be malicious are blocked, redirecting the user to a safe site to reinforce their phishing training.
