In their quest for continuous improvement, Quad9 was seeking to add value to existing users and enhance coverage of their Protective DNS.
Quad9 is a free service that replaces your default ISP or Domain Name Server (DNS) configuration. When a computer performs any Internet transaction that uses the DNS (and most transactions do), Quad9 blocks lookups of malicious hostnames from an up-to-the-minute list of threats. This blocking action protects homes and businesses networks, mobile device, or IoT systems against a wide range of threats such as malware, phishing, spyware, and botnets.
Bfore.ai and Quad9 forged partnership to augment protective DNS with PreCrime Network predictive cyberthreat intelligence.
The integration of Bfore.ai and Quad9 provides more than 30k of new and unique indicators of future cyber threats, enabling their customers to be protected by cyber attacks before they even start.
PreCrime Network with the predictive power of PreCrime, company’s proprietary AI engine, brings sophisticated predictive capabilities to avoid domain-based attacks by offering forecasting of malicious attack vectors from six hours to multiple weeks in advance of attacks.
Quad9 saw immediate value in mid-December 2021 with it. Quad9 blocked an attack 30 days before it started. At its peak, the attack produced 94,000 unique resolutions per minute for over 24 hours. Bfore.ai predicted and delivered the malicious domain in early November 2021 and shared it with Quad9 for preemptive blocking.
