CortexDNS combines authoritative DNS management, intelligent threat filtering, and real-time analytics into a single platform. Stop threats at the DNS layer before they reach your network.
Over 90% of malware uses DNS for command and control. Traditional firewalls can't see it. Your security stack has a massive blind spot, and attackers know it.
From authoritative DNS management to threat blocking, CortexDNS provides complete visibility and control over your DNS infrastructure.
Full administrative control over your authoritative DNS. Create zones, manage records, configure DNSSEC, and monitor health through an intuitive interface.
Network-wide ad blocking and threat filtering. Manage blocklists, allowlists, and client groups through a unified dashboard.
Deep visibility into DNS traffic patterns. Identify anomalies, track trends, and generate compliance reports.
Complete audit trail for compliance and forensics. Track every configuration change with user attribution and timestamps.
Isolate environments for different teams, departments, or customers. Role-based access control with granular permissions.
Automate everything with our comprehensive API. Integrate with your existing tools and workflows.
Secure your DNS management with TOTP-based two-factor authentication. Protect admin accounts from unauthorized access.
Generate detailed compliance and audit reports for regulatory requirements. Export in multiple formats for stakeholders.
Seamlessly migrate from Windows DNS Server to CortexDNS with our automated migration wizard. Zero downtime transitions.
Customize your workspace with light and dark theme options. Reduce eye strain during extended management sessions.
Full DNSSEC key lifecycle management through an intuitive UI. Create, rotate, and manage cryptographic keys with ease.
Import DNS records from BIND zone files with drag-and-drop simplicity. Preview and validate before applying changes.
Integrated domain classification and DGA detection powered by machine learning. Know what's hitting your network in real-time.
Stay informed with configurable alerts and notifications. Get notified via email or webhook when threats are detected.
Forward DNS logs to your SIEM platform for centralized security monitoring. Syslog and webhook formats supported.
Custom block pages with category information. Users see why a domain was blocked instead of a generic error.
Protect your API endpoints with token bucket rate limiting. Prevent abuse and ensure fair resource allocation.
Automatic diagnostics and self-healing for enterprise deployments. Detect and fix configuration issues automatically.
Deploy behind HAProxy, F5, or any load balancer with SSL termination. Full support for X-Forwarded-Proto headers.
