DNS-layer security

DNS-layer security refers to measures taken to protect the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates website names into numeric IP addresses. Just as a phone book connects names to phone numbers, DNS lets users access websites by name. DNS-layer security helps block malicious sites, preventing phishing or malware attacks by filtering and monitoring DNS requests. It acts like a security guard for internet traffic, ensuring users reach safe sites while avoiding dangerous ones, thus enhancing overall online safety and privacy.
