DNSFilter Cofounder and CEO, Ken Carnesi, was named a 2024 Tech Titan in Washingtonian.

As Carnesi said in a column for Forbes this spring, “Most breaches and attacks use DNS because it’s used everywhere and for a long time, nobody was watching.” It’s a tool set that’s been adopted by clients like the fitness chain Equinox.
