Prevention
Blocking access to infected sites can prevent further infections.
The Switch DNS Firewall provides you with an easy to implement first layer of protection. The service is based on the established and widely used DNS RPZ technology and can be deployed on most modern DNS resolvers. Switch offers you a combination of threat protection: Our own DNS RPZ zones with relevant and up-to-date threat data focused on Europe and the SURBL DNS RPZ zones for additional protection. With more than 9 years of experience as an RPZ provider / integrator and several million protected end-users, Switch is your competent partner in all DNS firewall matters.
Blocking access to infected sites can prevent further infections.
Systems that have already been infected can be detected by Switch. Customers are promptly notified of any such infections via security notifications.

Switch offers its customers wide-ranging expertise in the connection and integration of RPZ technology.
