We don't sell IT compliance—we ensure you meet it
DNS is a foundational network element that plays a vital role in operational readiness and cybersecurity compliance. Cyber resilience requires DNS resilience and integrity, which provides audit-ready asset visibility across dynamic environments and forms a core pillar of security defenses. As regulations evolve, Infoblox ensures you consistently meet and exceed compliance mandates.
Three ways DNS enforces compliance controls
Protective DNS
Detect DNS data exfiltration and provides incident response telemetry to comply with a wide range of cybersecurity mandates.
Protecting the DNS Protocol
Prevent impersonation and data tampering with signed zones, ensure confidentiality with encrypted DNS and resolver validation.
Protecting DNS Infrastructure
Host DNS on dedicated, isolated infrastructure to protect uptime, limit cascading failure and maintain continuity to meet regulatory requirements.
DNS best practices strengthen compliance and reduce exposure
WHITEPAPER
DNS Best Practices
Learn how hardened DNS infrastructure, Protective DNS and audit-ready logging help prevent malware, meet evolving mandates and support Zero Trust.
Zero Trust alignment
DNS supports segmentation, identity-aware access and policy enforcement as part of modern Zero Trust architecture.
Protection against malware
Protective DNS blocks phishing, ransomware and malware command-and-control using real-time DNS-based threat intelligence.
Improved audit readiness
DNS logs deliver visibility into endpoint behavior, data flows and lateral movement to support investigations and compliance audits.
Infrastructure resilience
Dedicated, secure DNS infrastructure reduces attack surface, limits cascading failures and ensures continued availability.
MIND THE TRUST GAP
You can’t have Zero Trust without secure DNS
DNS remains one of the most overlooked elements in Zero Trust strategies, often implicitly trusted by default. Without DNS-layer protections, users and systems can still resolve malicious domains and bypass policy.
Secure DNS enforces segmentation and provides the visibility needed to support identity-aware access decisions across distributed and complex environments.
MISSION-CRITICAL MEANS ALWAYS ON
Don't let poor DNS separation cause service outages
When DNS fails, applications, access and policy controls collapse. Organizations must treat DNS as a core resiliency layer. They should separate it from other critical services, protect it from cascading failure and ensure continuous availability to support recovery operations and business continuity.
Secure DNS protects against disruption and preserves the infrastructure on which compliance depends.
NO VISIBILITY, NO RESILIENCE
Defense-in-depth security requires secure DNS
DNS provides broad visibility into connection attempts across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Adding DNS-layer protections helps close gaps between endpoint, network and cloud defenses.
Secure DNS blocks high-risk domains, reveals lateral movement and enables faster detection. For mission-critical and availability-sensitive environments, this visibility strengthens risk mitigation without disrupting existing strategies.
COMPLIANCE IS A MOVING TARGET
Treat DNS as a first-class compliance control
DNS is not just infrastructure. It is a universal policy enforcement point, a rich source of telemetry and a frontline defense against emerging threats.
When organizations overlook DNS, they increase the risk of blind spots, audit failure and operational disruption. The most resilient security and compliance strategies treat DNS as critical infrastructure, not an afterthought.
