Advanced DNS Protection: mitigating sophisticated DNS DDoS attacks

The Advanced DNS Protection system is a robust defense mechanism designed to protect against sophisticated DDoS attacks targeting DNS servers. It leverages new techniques and complements existing systems, providing top-tier security for digital infrastructure. Currently in beta, the system is available at no additional cost for all Magic Transit customers. Advanced DNS Protection helps detect and mitigate randomized DDoS attacks by building a data model of each customer's expected DNS queries based on historical records. It inspects every DNS query sent to its users and passes or drops them accordingly, taking into account individual settings and tolerance levels for unexpected DNS queries.
