AI-Powered DNS Layer Security Leader Acquires Firewall + VPN Technology; Disrupts SWG Market to More Effectively Protect User Privacy and Organizations Against Web-Based Threats
DNSFilter today announced the acquisition of Guardian, a leading Firewall + VPN technology platform. The acquisition allows DNSFilter to provide a robust Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that more effectively protects user information and secures organizations against web-based threats.
“Secure Web Gateway plays a critical role in modern security strategies, enabling organizations to better secure access to the service edge,” said Ken Carnesi, CEO and Co-founder, DNSFilter. “But the technology is tired – incumbents have not kept pace with the evolving threat landscape or customer needs around service and support. Combining best-in-class Domain Name System (DNS) layer security with Firewall + VPN presents a massive business opportunity and alleviates the pain points customers face with legacy SWG technology.”
In a bold move to strengthen its foothold in the cybersecurity sector, DNSFilter recently announced a substantial expansion of its channel partner network. The year 2024 marks a pivotal moment as the company reported a remarkable 40% increase in channel-driven Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), responding to a heightened demand for robust and efficient DNS protection worldwide.
