Features
High-Performance DNS Resolution
Deployable in ANYCAST mode, Nexusguard DNS Protection distributes traffic across globally distributed Points of Presence (PoPs). This architecture enhances speed, redundancy, and uptime, delivering optimal DNS performance even under heavy query loads.
Resilient Cloud Infrastructure
Built around Nexusguard’s resilient cloud bandwidth, the DNS infrastructure effortlessly handles surges in traffic volume while maintaining low-latency responses — ensuring reliability during peak demand.
DANE Integration
Nexusguard's DNS Protection service incorporates DANE (DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities) to strengthen trust in encrypted communications. By binding SSL/TLS certificates to DNS records, the solution enforces rigorous cryptographic validation, eliminating reliance on third-party certificate authorities. This direct DNS-based authentication reduces the exposure to risks such as certificate impersonation, man-in-the-middle attacks, and various other certificate-related vulnerabilities.
Compliance with DNSSEC
Within DNS Protection hosting, Nexusguard reinforces security through DNSSEC, bolstering DNS integrity by verifying the legitimacy of domain data sources. DNSSEC eliminates the risk of DNS data tampering through the use of public key cryptography and digital signatures.
Customer Portal
Designed to provide complete visibility and control, the Customer Portal is a powerful, user-friendly platform for managing security and performance. Featuring an integrated dashboard and detailed analytics, it enables customers to view and configure detection and mitigation settings tailored to their specific service plans. From monitoring real-time traffic — including raw and clean bandwidth — to tracking network performance metrics like cached bandwidth and request volumes, the portal offers a comprehensive overview of their digital environment.
Customers can stay ahead of threats by viewing ongoing and stopped DDoS attacks, analyzing potential risks, and exploring detailed insights such as visitor geography, source IPs, connection speeds, and more. The portal also provides access to detailed event logs, downloadable raw logs, and monthly reports for deeper analysis.
