You can find all the information about Roksit at our new address, dnsssense.com
Welcome to the world of DNSSense!
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about us and our products.
Why Should We Use DNS Level Protection?
Since the DNS Layer is at the bottom of the application layer. So, malicious traffic can be blocked at the DNS level before it starts. In addition, DNS is used by all protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, and IoT. DNS traffic provides information about the application layer and your entire network. Moreover, some malicious traffic can only be detected and prevented by DNS level protection. For example, 80% of malware domains currently do not have an IP address. Malware requests that do not have an IP address can only be detected in the DNS log. Or DNS tunnelling can only be prevented by DNS level protection.
What Is Your Licencing Model?
The products are sold with a one or three years ethical license. The number of licenses is the number of devices has access to the internet.
What is DGA Domain? Is It Possible to Block It?
DGA stands for Domain Generation Algorithm. It is an algorithm frequently used to generate domain names for malware domains. Roksit detects domains created with the DGA algorithm and then blocks the malicious traffic.
What Is The Main Difference Between “Roksit” and Infoblox?
As the name suggests, the DNSEye product only analyzes and reports on DNS data. Unlike Infoblox, Roksit analyzes existing DNS servers' logs without needing changes in your networks. It shows the security risks in the network to the SOC teams with simple and understandable reports by making completely security-oriented analyzes and triggering the necessary alarms in SIEM and SOAR.
We Have Fortinet/Palo Alto/Symantec Bluecoat, a Firewall With Force Point Protection etc. Why Should We Buy Roksit?
100% of our customers who use our solutions already have security devices such as Fortinet, Palo Alto, Symantec and Force Point. Roksit does not replace these products. It acts as an additional layer of security at the DNS level.
Almost all of our PoC customers want to work with us. Our "Security Gap" feature reports the malicious traffic passing through the existing security devices and reports the added value Roksit gives your company. This way, you will test your security investment and our product.
Do You Have a DDI Service?
We do not have a DDI service.
How Long Does It Take to Deploy the Products, and Is a Constant Administrator (admin) Control Required?
It takes 5 minutes to deploy the "DNSDome" product and 1 hour to install the "DNSeye". It doesn't need an admin. Any IT personnel can manage the product by receiving periodic reports.
Do You Have an Authoritative DNS Service?
We do not have an authorized DNS service. We serve as a forwarder DNS.
Can I Buy the Products Separately, or Are They All Purchased at Once?
“DNSDome”, “DNSEye”, and “Cyber X-Ray” are different products and can be purchased separately or together.
Which SIEM Products Do You Have Integration With?
In addition to our direct integration with products such as IBM Qradar, Microsoft Archsight, and SPLUNK, We also have integration into any of your SIEM products that send data in SYSLOG format.
Why is DNS visibility important?
With DNS level protection, you can prevent the attacks but cannot detect the actual machine that generates the malicious traffic. Client IP addresses vary, so they are not suitable for retroactive verification. They should be enriched with constant information about computers and users. DNS visibility lets you detect the device and user that generates related DNS queries. These actual device and user information is very important for SOC teams.
Which DNS Products Do You Read With the “DNSEye” Product?
Microsoft DNS Server, Linux BIND Server, F5, CITRIX Netscaler, Efficient IP, Bluecat And common type of DNS servers
What Is The “Security Gap” Feature?
The “Security Gap” feature reports malicious traffic that the existing security devices (UTM Firewall, Proxy, DNS Firewall, etc.) cannot detect.
Security Gap simulates connecting to the malicious domain to test the security in the network by 3 different ways, Which are;
1- Test with DNS query from existing DNS server
2- Test with Http/Https request via the proxy server
3- Tests to reach a malicious domain with direct connection HTTP/HTTPS through Gateway.
DNSEye VM appliance in your network sends a malicious connection request to Roksit's cloud-based malicious simulation service, with a specific metadata.
Security Gap = Blocked, malicious traffic is blocked;
When Roksit's simulation service does not get the metadata, which means the malicious connection is blocked by the security, it is reported as the attack is blocked along with the information about which device (Proxy or UTM) successfully blocked the malicious traffic.
What Are the Advantages of Your Smart SIEM Integration?
Instead of forwarding all DNS data to SIEM, we can only forward domain queries for malicious domains to the SIEM product with real user and machine information. In this way, we can reduce the number of correlations required in the SIEM device and the number of EPS by 95%+. This reduction provides a significant reduction in the license cost of the SIEM product.
Which Platforms Does "Roaming Client" Support?
macOS, Windows, Android, IOS.
Is This Possible to Give Access to a Blocked Domain?
We have a Blacklist and Whitelist feature. If you add any domain to the whitelist or blacklist, all systems' caches are cleared within a maximum of 5 seconds.
Is There Any Protection Against Users Disabling the "Roaming Client"?
It has Kernel Level protection. Even if users remove it, the agent runs at the kernel level.
Is There a Feature to Block Unknown ( firstly seen ) Domains?
Yes. Roksite's 'Positive Security Model' temporarily blocks any network connection attempt to a 'First-seen' domain for a maximum of 10 minutes until it is categorized as 'Allowed' according to your security policies.The connection will not be allowed if the relevant domain falls into the 'Block' category. Users can only access it after it has been labelled 'Allowed' or 'Whitelisted'.
Can The Roaming Client Disable Itself When It Enters The Local Network?
Yes, it has the auto-disable option. In addition, it does not cause problems when the "Roaming Client" active device is connected to the local network.
Is There a DNS Tunnel Protection Feature?
Yes. Roksit Has a DNS tunnelling protection solution.
Is It Possible to Block Specific Categories or Certain User Groups?
There are 72 different categories in the Roksit domain classification platform. For security purposes, categories such as Malware and Phishing are blocked on all users and devices. Additional policies can be applied to devices with the "Roaming Client" feature installed or users if there is Active Directory integration.
Does "Roaming Client" Cause Any Performance Issues?
Our "Roaming Client" agent is a lightweight agent written in C language. Its load on the system is almost negligible.
Can Roksit Detect Phishing Domains?
Yes. Thanks to its native AI classification platform, Roksit detects and blocks the domains used in phishing attacks in a short time.
You Claim that You Categorize Better Than Other Companies. How Can You Prove This?
We use Cyber X-Ray, our own 100% artificial intelligence-based domain categorization platform. We monitor and store the entire internet historically and relationally up to five years back. We are so confident in this matter that we have added a feature called "Security Gap" to our "DNSEye" product. The "Security Gap" feature gives you a report that shows the malicious traffic your security devices miss. Thanks to this feature, you can easily see our added value to your company. In addition, we provide domain categorization services to the three firewall manufacturers in the world.
What Is Your False Positive Rate in Domain Classification?
Our Domain Categorization Success rate is 99% when we compare it with our rivals or when we consider the feedback from our customers. We receive only one or two categorization requests from our customers who make millions of domain queries daily.
