Upcoming webinar with Farsight Security
DNS over HTTPS, or DoH, is arguably the most popular encryption protocol—but how did we get here? How do we know this is the best option for us? We will be teaming up with Farsight Security on a webinar as we dive into the history of DNS encryption.
Our own Domain Intelligence Lead Peter Lowe from DNSFilter and Farsight Security’s CEO and co-founder Paul Vixie answer questions on the following:
- The rise in popularity of DoH
- What other DNS encryption options are out there, and how they compare
- What the future holds for the future of DNS encryption and the remaining unencrypted aspects of the Domain Name system
Don’t miss out as we go over what the future could look like and answer any other questions you might have.

Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
The term “artificial intelligence (AI)” was first coined in 1956. While progress stalled for many years, we can thank IBM for sparking real interest in AI as viable technology: First in 1997 when the computer Deep Blue defeated a chess champion and again in 2011 when Watson won Jeopardy!
The Mind Games Behind Cyber Attacks
Hackers have long understood that the most sophisticated firewall is no match for a well-placed psychological trick. While many focus on the technical prowess of cybercriminals, the real magic often lies in their ability to manipulate human behavior. By exploiting our natural tendencies and cognitive biases, hackers can slip past even the most robust security systems. It's not just about cracking codes; it's about cracking the human psyche.
AI and Cybersecurity Risks: Why DNS Filtering is Critical for AI-Driven Workplaces
Artificial intelligence is transforming business operations, automating everything from customer service to data analysis. But with these advancements come new security challenges. AI-driven cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, enabling attackers to automate phishing campaigns, generate malware, and exfiltrate sensitive data at scale. Without proper safeguards, AI tools can unintentionally leak corporate secrets or connect to malicious ...
