HYAS Protect is an intelligent, cloud-based protective DNS solution that proactively detects and blocks communication with command and control infrastructure used in malware attacks.
HYAS Protect also blocks communication with a host of other malicious sites, including those related to phishing, malware, ransomware, botnets and data exfiltration.
HYAS Protect is simple to use and vastly more effective than legacy filtering systems.
If you're considering HYAS Protect for your organization, here's everything you need to get started.
HYAS Protect combines years of historical domain data with real-time telemetry analysis to detect threat actor infrastructure before they can activate an attack.
Because HYAS Protect monitors DNS traffic, it doesn't matter how the network breach occurred-whether through ransomware, phishing, supply chain attacks, or other methods.
From a management perspective, HYAS Protect is really lightweight, but you have the ability, if the use cases require you, to gain a lot more out of the solution.
The HYAS team will help you access your DNS settings to enable the protective system, and then the engine runs in the background, 24/7. As for data analysis, the intuitive user interface clearly displays query results so you can see which requests were blocked.
No matter how you use HYAS Protect, the DNS resolver sends all traffic analysis to the HYAS cloud.
An agent version of HYAS Protect compatible on macOS and Windows devices and external integrations with SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is available.
HYAS Protect offers two main deployment modes: blocking and inspection.
Blocking is the default mode and the setting you'll generally want for a protective DNS system.
Establishing a baseline of what HYAS would deem malicious is definitely a good idea before enabling a blocking mode, just to ensure that there are no third-party providers that you use that may actually be hosted on some suspicious infrastructure.
Beyond providing industry-leading DNS protection, HYAS also gives you strategic insights into your business.
HYAS Protect uses DNS to stop an attack regardless of how the network breach occurred, but from an organizational standpoint, it's helpful to have context around your biggest security risks.
HYAS Protect gives you an aggregate log view to help you spot trends and identify your riskiest users.
HYAS Protect assumes that a network compromise will happen and stops breaches before they progress.
Legacy systems rely on predetermined lists of malicious domains, but HYAS Protect uses a complex, real-time pattern analysis of domain infrastructure to flag malware concerns before an attack begins.
You'll see how quickly HYAS Protect could deploy in your business and start working within minutes.
