Turning DNS Signals 
Into Certainty

DNSSight links each DNS query back to the exact device, user, and process; out-of-band, with zero impact on performance.

What’s at Stake

Eliminating DNS Blind Spots

Most security stacks already include DNS security and protective controls,

yet alerts still arrive without clear ownership.


Investigations stall because DNS must be stitched to device, user, and process by hand across DHCP, VPN, identity, and EDR. Most teams keep raw DNS out of SIEM; signals sit unused or delayed. 
Risk remains.

Results at a Glance
Ownership 
for Every Alert

Risky queries link to device, user, and process. 
No dead ends.

Faster Closure

Fewer tool pivots. 
Minutes cut from triage and handoffs.

DNS via 
SIEM integration

Enriched logs replace raw DNS streams. Filtered alerts are pushed to SIEM.

First-Contact 
Detection

Never-seen domains are flagged at first resolution. Risky traffic is identified 
at the earliest touchpoint.

Continuous Control Validation

Real detections are tested against firewall, proxy, and DNS controls. Enforcement is proven with pass/fail results.

Increased ROI

ROI Through Automation

Ownership is set at ingestion: device, user, process.
Cross-checking DHCP, VPN, IdP, and EDR is no longer manual.

Pilots observed an average ROI increase of ~18%, driven by reduced ingest and shorter time-to-decision.

What DNSSight Delivers 

Deterministic Attribution

Maps each FQDN to the definitive host, active identity, and process. Turns DNS alerts into accountable incidents and shortens the step from signal to decision.

Forensics Through VPN

Names the exact user behind VPN egress for every DNS event. Keeps attribution intact across shared egress, session churn, and remote work.

Investigation Timeline

Builds a single, ordered record linking device, user, process, and time. Exports cleanly to SIEM or ITSM and audit so evidence travels without rework.

What Sets DNSSight Apart

Access Guard:
Continuous Control Validation

Safely tests real detections against firewall, proxy, and DNS controls. Delivers per control pass or fail in minutes. Provides continuous proof of what is actually blocked without changing topology.

First-Time Visit:
First-Contact Alerts

Safely tests real detections against firewall, proxy, and DNS controls. Delivers per control pass or fail in minutes. Provides continuous proof of what is actually blocked without changing topology.

What’s at Stake

Make Cybersecurity Investments Work Harder Smarter

Do full investigations in DNSSight or, alert to SIEM, export to ITSM only for retention, routing, or reporting needs.

Enforcement evidence

Access Guard writes pass/fail outcomes to cases so Ops and Audit see what’s actually blocked.

Signal Reduction 

Compact write backs replace high volume raw DNS. Teams that previously avoided DNS in SIEM can now track only the incidents that matter.

Plug-and-Play Integrations

30+ prebuilt adapters for DNS, DHCP, identity, VPN/firewalls, and SIEM. Onboard in minutes with no custom parsers. Unified view for investigations.

Threat Visibility and Response
USE CASE 01

Investigations drop from hours to minutes. Infected endpoints are tied to the responsible user and contained quickly, which boosts return on existing controls.

Deployment at Scale
USE CASE 02

Sprawling networks gain unified DNS visibility without re-architecting. Incidents resolve in minutes, and enriched intelligence elevates existing SIEM workflows.

Security & Trust

Operates out-of-band; no inline components. Raw DNS can stay at the resolvers, DDI, or data lake to investigate and close cases.

FAQ

Is this a replacement for protective DNS or URL filtering?

No. DNSSight enhances what you already have rather than replacing protective DNS or URL filtering tools. It provides deeper visibility so your existing controls work more effectively.

Agents required?

No. DNSSight works without agents using the DNS data you already generate. It fits into your environment with no additional endpoint deployment.

Routing impact?

None. DNSSight observes DNS activity without altering traffic paths. It delivers insight with no changes to your routing.

What is Access Guard?

Access Guard is the component that monitors authentication behaviour to spot weak or breached credentials. It strengthens identity security by blocking risky logins before they become incidents.

What is First-Time Visit?

First Time Visit highlights when a device or user contacts a domain for the very first time. It helps you spot unusual destinations quickly so you can investigate with greater confidence.

Data location and retention?

Your data stays within your chosen region and follows strict handling controls. Retention is fully configurable so you can align DNSSight with your security and compliance needs.

Why This Matters

Alerts without owners drain time and budget. DNSSight makes DNS accountable by attaching device, identity, and process to critical moments. Decisions arrive faster, storage grows slower, posture strengthens.
