Secure DNS
The free Secure DNS service will protect you and your company from known threats by blocking domains and IPs used in attacks on your infrastructure. The service is continuously updated by mnemonic's Threat Intelligence team using our global insight and observation of the threat landscape.
The Internet is home to more than 360 million domain names, and every hour, thousands more are added. New websites are launched every minute, and attackers compromise legitimate websites to target unsuspecting victims. This landscape changes by the second, and challenges organisations to protect your users, data and business operations.
Secure DNS is a free service that prevents computers from reaching websites known to be a threat. If a user or system requests a known malicious domain, Secure DNS will intercept the request and redirect the user to a safe website informing them of the risk that was averted.
The service only takes minutes to set up, operates transparently to users with no additional latency, is very robust with high up-time, and is powered by mnemonic’s global Threat Intelligence to provide organisations with real-time protection in this ever-changing landscape.
Goes beyond other commercial DNS protection services
We have years of experience monitoring and assessing the threat landscape and providing Threat Intelligence deliverables. This gives a solid knowledge of and insight into how threat actors operate, and the techniques and infrastructure they use in order to successfully compromise organisations.
mnemonic's Threat Intelligence department consists of highly experienced and trained cyber threat intelligence analysts, that works continuously in their pursuit of understanding how threat actors operate and how these may be combated. This knowledge is key in delivering a service that not only blocks traditional malware, but also includes highly targeted and persistent threats that other commercial DNS protection services do not cover.
The vast amount of telemetry data we collect from our global intelligence network, are filtered and enriched through various fingerprinting methods to identify new and emerging threats, and to track threat actor activity. This information is used in addition to the intelligence from incident response cases we handled on a daily basis, to ensure that the Secure DNS service has a highly-accurate and timely relevant threat coverage to best protect our customers.
Enterprise options

Custom sinkhole
Configure your primary DNS server to be 185.247.99.99 (IPv6: 2a02:2188::99) and you’re ready to go. This can be done locally on your device, home router, or by your IT team on your corporate DNS service.
Want added security with DNSSEC? Use 185.247.99.100 (IPv6: 2a02:2188::100) instead. DNSSEC is not universally adopted across the Internet, and may result in legitimate websites that do not support DNSSEC being blocked.
