The DNS firewall is one of the most effective and well-established tools in the cybersecurity arsenal. It acts as a critical line of defense against cyber threats by filtering and blocking access to malware and phishing websites, and data exfiltration points among others malicious resources. This prevents users from inadvertently visiting dangerous sites or falling victim to cyber attacks.

ABOUT AMAZON ROUTE 53
“Amazon Route 53 provides highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS), domain name registration, and health-checking cloud services.
You can combine your Route 53 DNS with health-checking services to route traffic to healthy endpoints or to independently monitor and alarm on endpoints.
In addition, Route 53 Resolver provides a regional DNS service that performs recursive DNS lookups for names hosted in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), as well as public names on the internet. Lastly, the Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall allows you to block queries made for known or suspected malicious domains, and to allow queries for trusted domains when using the Route 53 Resolver for recursive DNS resolution.”
