Secure your DNS records with digital signatures, preventing cache poisoning and ensuring authentic, safe online interactions.
Vercara UltraDNS offers stress-free DNSSEC by digitally signing your DNS records, allowing DNS recursive servers to check and validate them, which exposes false responses and prevents cache poisoning attacks. While key management in DNSSEC can be complex, UltraDNS simplifies and makes it cost-efficient with a DNSSEC-compliant platform, an easy-to-use web management portal, automated zone signing, and automated or manual ZSK key rollovers with notifications. UltraDNS also eases challenges related to new policies, DNS server upgrades, and larger domain zones, avoiding the need for costly training or additional staff for key management as a fully managed service.
When users connect to websites, their requests must be routed to the correct host. A DNS server, typically run by the user’s ISP, transparently converts the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) to a corresponding IP address. When the correct answer is found, DNS servers cache it for a certain amount of time to decrease network traffic and allow faster future responses. When cyber criminals “poison” these caches with incorrect data, they can redirect people to phony sites and steal user names, passwords, and credit card data.
DNSSEC secures the DNS zone data, providing end to end data integrity and authenticated denial of existence. Developed specifically to counter cache poisoning attacks, DNSSEC protects your users from receiving forged DNS responses. By including this extra security as a standard feature, UltraDNS delivers peace of mind.
