Why Tech TroubleShooters for DNS-Layer Protection?

Many attacks start with a user clicking a bad link or a piece of malware trying to phone home. Blocking those connections at the DNS layer stops the attack chain early, before any damage is done, and works whether users are in the office or remote.

Part of our Cybersecurity services

Several layers of protection, on the sensible assumption that any one of them will have a bad day eventually. Software on every computer watches for odd behaviour, and can stop an attack and undo the damage. For businesses that need more, specialist analysts look for intruders the software missed, and only approved programs are allowed to run. It's all monitored and patched from one place, and when something needs your attention, it's Kelly or Carisa who rings you.

An autonomous AI engine on every device watches behaviour in real time, detecting and stopping ransomware, malware, and fileless attacks that signature antivirus can't see. Far beyond traditional antivirus.
Autonomous Threat Remediation
Threats are contained and removed automatically, without waiting for someone to notice an alert. An infected computer can be cut off from the network quickly, so one bad click stays one bad click.
