These actions must occur before they can launch the first attack, send the first beacon, and deliver the first phish before they can exploit any intrusion. Vercara focuses on discovering and mapping this adversary infrastructure and then leverages this knowledge combined with real-time communication pattern analysis to identify and prevent attacks before they happen, thus shifting to a proactive security paradigm.
Vercara’s UltraDNS Public Service uses a variety of high-quality threat intelligence sources to identify and block access to malicious domains when your system makes a query for such domains.
If your network settings for DNS are pointing to Vercara’s UltraDNS Public and the domain being queried falls within a filter policy defined for that network you will be redirected to a Block, Warn, or Nx Domain landing page. Although very rare, sometimes a domain may be miscategorized in which case you have the option to dispute the categorization through the landing page itself.
