Secure64® Caching DNS is a powerful, self-defending caching DNS platform for carrier and enterprise networks. Security, safety, and stability are central to the architecture, ensuring maximum uptime for the platform, high performance, and advanced additional features. Supporting Anycast allows the platform Secure64® Caching DNS performs under heavy loads, scales linearly, and defends against DDoS & network attacks.
Built on top of our security heritage, DNS Authority is built from the ground up, designed to be the most secure DNS solution possible. Running on top of a COTS Linux kernel, we have integrated layers of protections for both security and stability.
DNS Authority for x86 provides fine-grained DDoS detection and mitigation rules, allowing the server to continue to respond to legitimate queries while dropping queries from attackers—unlike conventional DNS solutions that crash or become unavailable at much lower levels of attack traffic.
BIND is the most widely deployed DNS software in the world, which makes it a primary target for attackers seeking to cause maximum worldwide damage. DNS Authority for x86 is a completely different implementation that shares no code with BIND, making it immune to all BIND-specific vulnerabilities.
Authority for x86 provides a rich RESTful API that enables external orchestration and management systems to configure, monitor and manage it throughout its lifecycle. This promotes network automation and elastic scaling – two key goals in the shift towards virtual network functions.
DNS Authority runs on a variety of x86 linux hardware. DNS Authority was built for organizations that need maximum performance and strong security.
DNS Authority is available as a virtualized appliance. The virtualized version of DNS Authority was specifically designed for those needing exceptional flexibility and dynamic scaling, and to support Network Functions Virtualization.
