Domain Name System (DNS) Firewall

The MIABC has partnered with the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) to offer Domain Name System (DNS) Firewall for MIABC members to block access to malicious websites

DNS Firewall puts you in control of your organization’s cybersecurity by giving you the power to block malicious cybersecurity attacks from reaching your organization’s network.

The service’s powerful threat feeds block cyber threats like malware, phishing, and botnets as they arise, while its customizability allows organizations to add specific sites they don’t want users visiting.

This made-in-Canada solution protects more than 2.5 million Canadians from malicious cyber threats and is both simple to use and easy to implement.
