Secure, independent DNS data analysis for informed decision-making

UltraDNS Private Data Lake is a cutting-edge solution designed for organizations that prioritize secure and comprehensive data analysis. This platform provides a private environment where businesses can perform in-depth analysis of their DNS data, offering complete data independence. With no restrictions or limitations, organizations can gain a deep understanding of traffic patterns, user behavior, and other critical metrics. This unparalleled control and intelligence empower businesses to make informed decisions, optimize operations, and drive growth, all while maintaining the highest standards of data security.

A leading indicator of threat identification

By scrutinizing DNS data, security teams can spot anomalies or unusual patterns within their standard traffic flows to proactively detect and mitigate emerging security risks – like DDoS attacks.
By correlating DNS log time stamps with security events, Incident Response and Threat Hunting teams strengthen their remediation efforts by establishing more granular timelines. They also can get a broader picture of the threat actors’ movements over time, from reconnaissance activities all the way through to execution.
By analyzing enumeration and scanning activity on UltraDNS, defense teams can glean insights into threat actor targeting their resources to ensure defenses on other security layers are hardened prior to attackers switching attack vectors.

Data retention for compliance purposes

By pursuing a private data lake, organizations can ensure their compliance requirements are met via easily accessed detailed DNS activity logs.
Build personalized dashboards tailored to your organization’s unique reporting requirements.
Private Data Lake query retention options ensure compliance with industry standards, offering the capability to store up to 3 years’ worth of data.

Intelligence for proactive network optimization and reducing data exposure

Optimize network, website performance, and geo-specific latency by gaining insights into traffic patterns and implementing traffic shaping modifications.
Help pinpoint inadvertent data exposures by allowing users to search for non-production Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) returning sensitive IPs or dangling DNS records.

How UltraDNS Private Data Lake works

Data Collection: The process starts with the UltraDNS Data Warehouse, which collects and stores DNS query data.

Data Processing: An “Hourly Script” runs at regular intervals and is responsible for processing the data.

Data Storage: Once processed, the data is moved to the UltraDNS Private Data Lake, a secure repository for the processed data.

Data Querying and Analysis: Customers can use query services such as Amazon Athena to query the data. Athena is a serverless interactive query service that quickly analyzes data using standard SQL.
