ccDNS PRODUCT OVERVIEW

A DNS change.
A stronger
first line.

Bring threat-informed DNS protection to the devices your business depends on. ccDNS by Cyber Conclave checks domain requests against WhoisXML API’s FirstWatch intelligence and blocks matching threats at the DNS layer.

Threat intelligence translated into a network decision.
A practical first layer

Reduce exposure to domains associated with phishing, malware and attacker communications.

No endpoint agent required

Extend DNS filtering to devices that use your configured network DNS service.

A repeatable rollout

Apply the same DNS protection approach from one location to your wider estate.

Explore the intelligence behind ccDNS

Earlier insight.
A meaningful point of control.

Through Cyber Conclave’s partnership with WhoisXML API, ccDNS connects FirstWatch’s predictive domain intelligence with DNS enforcement.

FirstWatch identifies domains showing indicators of malicious intent, including emerging infrastructure that may not yet have been used in an attack. ccDNS puts those signals to work when devices request a domain, helping reduce exposure before a connection is established.

Built for retail. Protected at every location.

500 sites.
One straightforward
DNS protection approach.

Consider a retailer with 500 locations. Each site has a WAN router, a point-of-sale register, and perhaps a camera or VoIP phone. With limited equipment and no dedicated on-site IT team, the business needs protection that fits the network it already has.

500

locations. Lean infrastructure.

Once ccDNS is provisioned, configure each router to use it for DNS and distribute those settings to connected devices. Requests routed through ccDNS are checked, and matching FirstWatch-listed domains are blocked.

Every DNS request. A policy decision.
From your devices to ccDNS protection A POS register, camera and VoIP phone send DNS requests through the WAN router to ccDNS.

  1. Connect the site

    Point the router’s DNS service to your provisioned ccDNS resolver.

  2. Bring devices under protection

    Have connected devices use the router-provided DNS settings.

  3. Repeat across locations

    Validate a pilot site, then roll out the configuration across your estate.

Protection applies to domain requests sent through ccDNS and matched by its configured policy. Devices using alternate DNS services or direct IP connections need additional network controls. DNS filtering complements your existing security measures.
