As Web-Based Threats Continue to Escalate, Pax8 adds DNSFilter to MSP Marketplace

Pax8, a global cloud marketplace offering a wide range of cloud-first applications to MSPs, including cyber-security solutions, has announced a global partnership with DNSFilter to offer DNS layer threat protection solutions.

DNSFilter detects and blocks malicious site content faster than any other DNS resolver on the market, blocking over nine billion threats in 2022, all while maintaining the fastest network in North America, per PerfOps.com.

"Security is top of mind for Pax8 and every MSP and their clients, as attacks continue to wreak havoc on every industry at alarming rates," said Nikki Meyer, CVP of Vendor Alliances at Pax8. "We're thrilled to add the monitoring and filtering capabilities of DNSFilter to the security offerings provided by Pax8. This will empower our partners to provide critical security protection to their customers."

Founded in 2015, DNSFilter's tools are easy to deploy across clients and are top-rated among 2,000 MSP organizations that utilize the company's unique Threat Protection service. DNSFilter's powerful reporting and management capabilities were specifically built for MSPs. DNSFilter is deployable through individual devices via roaming clients or...

Back to Basics: Why DNS is still foundational even as technology evolves

Almost every company is chasing the latest shiny object in an effort to be more competitive. The latest shiny object isAI, but before that, it was cloud, 5G, etc. The problem is that all of these new technologies also increase security risks — and the reality is that most organizations are ill-prepared for the existing security risks, let alone the new ones created by the addition of emerging technologies.
