Keeping your brand and client data safe is paramount in today’s dangerous online world. DNS attacks that attempt to hijack DNS query responses, redirect clients to malicious sites, and access private information are on the rise.
In the past, organizations had to choose between the high availability of global server load balancing (GSLB) or DNSSEC protection. In addition, the CPU-intensive process of validating DNSSEC could slow responses and lower productivity. Today, a complete DNSSEC solution from F5 provides security, improved performance, and global availability—in a single device.
The F5 DNSSEC solution:
- Mitigates DNS cache poisoning attempts.
- Dynamically signs DNS query responses in real time.
- Easily offloads and validates DNSSEC on the client side.
- Works within a GSLB framework.
Secure your brand and data
There’s nothing more important than giving your customers and employees confidence that when they go to your website, they’ve got the real thing. DNS cache poisoning attacks that send users to a phishing site set up to look like your website are growing more common. F5 provides strong DNSSEC protection to prevent attacks—so you keep your company’s brand and reputation safe while protecting your users’ data.
Improve site response
With the increase in DNSSEC-secure responses coming into many organizations, DNS resolvers need to offload requests and calculations to ensure the DNS response being received is correctly signed. F5 delivers DNSSEC validation on the client side, which results in superior DNS performance and a dramatic increase in site response speed for users.
Fulfill compliance requirements
To make the Internet a safer place, an increasing number of governments, Internet domain registrars, and other organizations require compliance with the DNSSEC standard. F5 makes it easy to stay on top of compliance responsibilities and protect your company’s identity by implementing DNSSEC standards—without requiring major system upgrades.
Get real-time security with global load balancing
Companies once had to choose between the high availability of GSLB or the security of DNSSEC because DNSSEC architecture did not support intelligent GSLB systems. But with F5’s dynamic, real-time DNSSEC signing, you can have it all: security, resource availability, maximum DNS performance, and centralized management.
