The comprehensive guide to Topsec's Managed DNS Services

By Cian Fitzpatrick | 28th August 2024

Today’s fast-paced business environment requires fast-paced solutions to keep your organisation safe. 

Malicious cyber actors rely on the speed with which business is done to exploit your weak spots. All with one goal in mind – to get to your data.

This is one of the reasons businesses require robust and reliable DNS management solutions to ensure their online presence is secure and continuously available. To do this purely manually would be an onerous task, and one open to human error. But with Topsec’s team and our technology at your disposal, the safety of your online presence is greatly enhanced.

No matter the size of your business, Topsec’s Managed DNS solution is designed to meet your requirements. And don’t fool yourself, micro and SME businesses are as attractive to cyber criminals as large corporations.

What is Managed DNS?

Managed DNS is the way we describe a service provided by a third-party vendor that takes over the management and configuration of your Domain Name System (DNS). 

One of the building blocks of the internet’s infrastructure, it’s the DNS that’s responsible for translating human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computer systems understand. And can use to identify each other within a network. If we didn’t have DNS, you would no longer navigate the internet by remembering domain names, but rather by remembering (long) strings of numbers.

But naturally, your DNS service requires maintenance.

Our managed DNS solution does precisely that for you, ensure that your DNS is always up-to-date and optimised for your human users. Plus, most importantly, our DNS service keeps your organisation safe from online threats. It does this by handling tasks such as DNS zone management, traffic management, and DNS monitoring. This frees up your IT resources to focus on other priorities.

The Importance of a Reliable DNS Service

Your DNS system is directly correlated with how easy it is to access your website. It’s also essential for maintaining the security of your website and online presence. 

Haven’t we all experienced a website going down? 

The panic that ensues is entirely understandable. A website that can’t be reached causes revenue to be lost and can severely damage reputation.

This is why DNS attacks are a common target for cyber criminals.

The type of attack most commonly known is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. This is where bad actors overwhelm your DNS servers with traffic, and make your website completely inaccessible.

Not on Topsec’s watch, however.

Topsec’s Managed DNS solution has a number of ways to thwart DDoS and other DNS attacks.

When you use our managed DNS service, you benefit from our expert team and our technology to recognise and handle complex DNS configurations.
