EfficientIP SOLIDserver

EfficientIP SOLIDserver provides DDI alongside network automation and DNS security, and the depth of its DNS protection range is what distinguishes it from general address management tools.

The security products address distinct attack shapes rather than presenting one undifferentiated defence. DNS Guardian provides adaptive security for service continuity and data protection, DNS Firewall blocks DNS based malware activity, and DNS Blast provides carrier grade protection against DNS denial of service attacks.

Separating those is technically correct. Protecting users from resolving malicious domains and keeping a resolver standing under a volumetric flood are different engineering problems, and a product treating them as one usually does one of them badly. DNS Client Query Filtering adds application access control to limit how far an attack can spread.

Edge DNS GSLB extends into application delivery, optimising performance from the edge through global server load balancing, which uses DNS to direct users to the best available location. The company also publishes DNS threat intelligence for proactive security and organises its material by IT initiative, including zero trust and visibility. Pricing is not published.
