DNS-Level Phishing Protection
With WatchGuard DNSWatch
DNSWatch keeps your business safe from phishing and malware by blocking dangerous DNS connections before they reach your network
Hackers Use DNS to Attack. DNSWatch Uses It to Defend.
Every online action — opening an email, clicking a link, visiting a site — relies on DNS. Hackers exploit that, using DNS to deliver ransomware, phishing payloads, and botnet commands.
DNSWatch flips the script.
It inspects every DNS request leaving your network, automatically blocking connections to known or suspicious domains before they can do harm. If a user clicks a bad link, DNSWatch stops the attack in its tracks and safely redirects them to a phishing education page — no infection, no panic, no downtime.
Always On. Always Updated. No Hardware Required.
DNSWatch runs 100% in the Cloud — no servers to manage, no agents to install, and no updates to maintain. Just activate it through your Firebox or WatchGuard Cloud console, and protection starts immediately.
It scales automatically, grows with your business, and integrates seamlessly with your Total Security Suite.
A Smarter Layer in Your Total Security Stack
DNSWatch works hand in hand with other WatchGuard services — APT Blocker, WebBlocker, and Reputation Enabled Defense — to close every gap in your network protection.
Together, they detect and block malware on every port and protocol, stopping ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats before they can spread.
When Someone Clicks the Wrong Link, DNSWatch Teaches Them Why
Humans make mistakes — and attackers know it. DNSWatch helps your users get smarter with every click. If someone tries to visit a phishing site, DNSWatch blocks it and instantly redirects them to a short, interactive training game that explains the red flags they missed.
That means every "oops" becomes a learning opportunity — reducing risk and building stronger, more alert employees.
Actionable Intelligence — Right in Your Inbox
When DNSWatch detects an attack, you don't just get an alert — you get an explanation. Our threat analysts review major incidents and send an easy-to-understand report detailing what happened, what was blocked, and what to do next.
No digging through logs. No hours of guesswork. Just answers — fast.
"Our antivirus was good. WatchGuard is better. DNSWatch made phishing training effortless."
