Discover how DNS security protects your business from evolving cyber threats, the key benefits of implementing it, and why Solis' DNS protection solutions stand out.
What Is DNS Security and Why Does It Matter?
In simple terms, the Domain Name System (DNS) serves as the Internet's phonebook. Every time a user types a web address, DNS translates it into the corresponding IP address so browsers can load the right site.
But here’s the problem: attackers exploit DNS as an entry point to deliver malware, steal data, or launch phishing campaigns. DNS-based attacks like cache poisoning, tunneling, and DNS hijacking continue to rise in frequency and complexity.
According to IDC, 88% of organizations experienced DNS attacks in the past year, with an average cost of $942,000 per attack.
That’s why DNS security is no longer optional. It’s a proactive, foundational layer of cybersecurity that helps organizations block threats before they reach the network.
Why Solis for DNS Protection?
At Solis, we don’t believe in off-the-shelf cybersecurity. Our DNS Security solutions are built with:
· Tailored Configurations: Custom DNS filtering rules that align with your business priorities.
· 24/7 Monitoring & Support: Our SOC experts monitor DNS traffic around the clock.
· Seamless Integration: Works alongside your existing Managed Extended Detection and Response (mXDR), SIEM, or firewall solutions

We combine agent-based monitoring with DNS threat intelligence curated from industry-leading sources, all backed by our human-driven service model.
DNS security acts as the next logical layer of defense for organizations already using our Vulnerability Oversight services.
Closing Thought: Don’t Leave Your DNS Traffic Unchecked
Whether you’re managing IT for a private equity firm, healthcare provider, or mid-market enterprise, leaving DNS traffic unprotected is like leaving your front door unlocked.
Let Solis help you lock it down. Intelligently and affordably.
