Neustar Introduces UltraDDR for Enhanced DNS-based User Protection

Neustar Security Services, a renowned cloud-based security services provider that enables global businesses to thrive online, is launching UltraDDR (DNS Detection and Response), a recursive DNS-based protection service aimed at combating ransomware attacks, network breaches, supply chain compromise and phishing while enforcing enterprise acceptable use policies for its users.

UltraDDR provides a Protective DNS solution that allows businesses to move ahead of attacks by preventing communication before any harm can be done. Protective DNS analyzes DNS queries and responds to mitigate threats. UltraDDR offers real-time observability of outbound network communication using years of historical domain data, allowing organizations to detect and prevent malware, ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks before any damage can occur.

UltraDDR can meet organizations' recursive DNS requirements. UltraDDR contains a highly dependable global recursive DNS resolution network with 27 nodes across the world, allowing for lightning-fast responses everywhere. UltraDDR is a comprehensive DNS resolver solution that includes advanced security features, including DNS over HTTPS (DoH), DNSSEC and DNS over TLS (DoT). Furthermore, the service features built-in DNS DDoS protection through Neustar Security Services' UltraDDoS Protect solution to instantly fight against attacks towards the UltraDDR DNS resolver network, guaranteeing that DNS resolution availability is not jeopardized.

UltraDDR has extensive DNS firewall features to enforce acceptable usage policies for business users. For example, administrators can designate categories of internet traffic, such as gaming, adult, gambling, social media, etc., that violate business policy and block or flag this traffic to give a simple, unobtrusive means of enforcing policy.

UltraDDR can be deployed within minutes to enhance a corporation's security investments, such as by integrating always-on DNS intelligence into event management and security information systems, endpoint solutions, firewalls, and more. The solution supports a client that can be installed on Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android devices that enables DNS settings to persist regardless of network connectivity and continues to provide both web categorization and threat protection.
