Cyber threats have become more dynamic and sophisticated than ever before. Watch this video as the ThreatSTOP team discusses the real danger of dynamic threats and the need for protection.

The Need for Dynamic Responses
Static security measures that rely on predefined rules and signatures are no longer sufficient to defend against emerging threats. The dynamic nature of modern attacks requires an equally dynamic response. Organizations must be able to adapt their security strategies and defenses in real-time to counter new and evolving threats effectively.

Automating Security Through a Name You Can Trust

We will stop these cyber threats so you can keep your focus on your business.

Dynamic Cyber Threats Require Dynamic Responses (Must Be Automated)

OFAC regulations restrict businesses and individuals from conducting any financial transaction with entities on its sanctions list. OFAC compliance can be extremely difficult and time-consuming. Watch this video as the team from ThreatSTOP explains the importance of automating OFAC compliance.

Steps Involved with OFAC Compliance
OFAC compliance is neither an easy nor intuitive venture. The process requires a great deal of research that must be updated as often as possible. Automating OFAC compliance through a company like ThreatSTOP is the easiest way to ensure you will always have safe and legal transactions.

Collecting Threat Intelligence
Complying with OFAC starts with collecting threat intelligence. This intelligence comes from a variety of places. This can come from proprietary feeds from vendors, government-enabled feeds, event logs, and private research from universities or other private entities.

Checking for Errors
There may be errors in the collection of threat intelligence. Sometimes, a CTI system turns off your most important customers. You must enable a list of customers who will not be blocked. Reviewing your intelligence collection must be done from both a human and a machine point-of-view. While some of the filtering and blocking are automatic, it also requires human intervention.

Customizing Policies
Businesses and individuals should customize their CTI policy. Each business may have different constraints based on its location.

Automated OFAC through solutions like ThreatSTOP provides organizations with numerous advantages. Automated compliance ensures your business will remain safe while freeing you up to focus on other parts of your business. Are you interested in learning more? Contact ThreatSTOP today.

5 Steps to Automating OFAC Compliance

Public policy plays an important role in keeping business computing safe and secure. Companies may have some difficulty keeping up-to-date as these policies change. This is why it is important for businesses to turn to innovative solutions that will guide them through the constantly changing landscape of public policy. Watch this video as the team from ThreatSTOP discusses public policy, DNS policy, and risk.

Understanding Public Policy and DNS Policy
Public policy refers to the basic principles and guidelines set forth by the government and other regulatory bodies. Public policy can refer to any area. This includes how businesses and individuals use web resources for communication and transactions.

DNS policy focuses specifically on the rules and regulations governing the management and operation of domain names. DNS policies cover registration, security, privacy, and compliance. Compliance with DNS policies is vital to maintain a secure and trustworthy internet presence.

The Ever-Changing Face of Public Policy
Enforcing Sanctions
It's not enough to know what sanctions are in place. You have to be able to enforce them. You need to observe these policies, which can change on a daily basis. You could send every order you place to an analyst for case-by-case decisions about whether or not it is okay to do business with specific areas. This will delay your business, costing you time and money. A better option is one-click compliance.

ThreatSTOP will help you lower your business risks of violating public policies and sanctions. We will also save you time and money with programs like one-click compliance. ThreatSTOP is affordable, accurate, and easy to implement. Give us a call today.

Public Policy Creates Significant Risks to Businesses

Any device that reaches the Internet is susceptible to ransomware from the web. DNS security is used to block ransomware and keep your devices safe. Watch the video below as Dr. Paul V. Mockapetris, Chief Scientist at ThreatSTOP, goes over the ways security blocks ensure the safety of your data.

How Can a Computer Get Infected With Ransomware?
Devices that are used to access the web, including laptops, computers, phones, and tablets, are targeted by malicious actors. These cybercriminals can create infected websites that look legitimate, which tricks users into visiting dangerous sites. They sometimes infect innocent sites, which is nearly impossible to predict from the user's point of view. There are also times when a malicious actor infects an ad for a site. When the user clicks on the ad, they may be infected.

How Does DNS Security Block Ransomware?
Ransomware blocking works on several different levels. The first, and most important, is that it prevents you from going to these infected sites. Security for ransomware, like that offered through ThreatSTOP, is updated on a continuous basis. It is able to communicate with the network when a user clicks on a link that is corrupted. It will either warn the user that they are about to enter a dangerous area, or it will make entering that website impossible by blocking entry...

Can DNS Security Block Ransomware?

Phishing is a serious threat faced by all businesses and individuals. It may seem as though there is no way to stop phishing scams, but DNS security can help. Watch the video below as we explain how ThreatSTOP uses protective DNS for blocking phishing and other cybersecurity issues.
What Are Phishing Attacks?
Most users are aware of phishing. It is a type of cyberattack that involves tricking users into giving their information to bad actors on the internet. This can be done through malicious websites that are masquerading as legitimate entities. It can also be done through fraudulent emails or text messages. Information gained can be usernames and passwords, credit card details, social security numbers or banking information.
How Can DNS Security Prevent Phishing?
Protective DNS uses a filtering technique to determine if a website is malicious. A database of known, malicious websites is kept on the DNS server. If a user attempts to click on one of these websites, access is prevented. An excellent security system, like those offered through ThreatSTOP, regularly updates so that the database has access to the latest threats.
The Limitations of DNS
Some phishing attacks come in the form of emails, text messages or even phone calls that ask users to provide sensitive data. Your users must be made aware of the possibility of falling prey to one of these attempts. This is particularly true if a bad actor asks for a text or phone call that cannot be overseen by security software. This is why adopting DNS protection should be part of an overall strategy that includes education about internet safety. Security blocks offer an important safety net, but awareness of phishing is needed as well.

As phishing attempts become more and more advanced, It is not enough to rely on a user’s ability to detect fraudulent activity on their own. A protective DNS service must be put into place. Call ThreatSTOP today to how we can protect you from these cyberattacks.

Can DNS Security Block Phishing?

Maintaining compliance, whether to government sanctions or to other best practices standards, is a challenge to any business with an internet presence. Enforcement covers all aspects of internet-facing infrastructure, including firewalls, DNS servers, and cloud applications. Watch this video as the team from ThreatSTOP describes some of the top compliance options available today.

IP Defense
IP defense is the act of using firewalls or routers as filters based on IP addresses. Using IP defense allows your business to know when an infected device begins beaconing for instructions. Your business can then take immediate action to clean or reconfigure the infected machine. IP Defense is vital because it blocks both inbound and outbound attacks.

DNS Security
Content distribution networks, or CDNs, allow multiple websites to share the same set of IP addresses. This can be a problem for those businesses that block IP addresses because they are related to inappropriate or unsafe content. DNS security blocks domain names rather than IP addresses. Because of this, your business does not have to block needed information in order to safeguard against ransomware attacks just because both occupy the same IP.

AWS WAF
Businesses and individuals may choose to host websites on Amazon Web Services, or AWS. Amazon offers a service called WAF, which is short for Web Application Firewall. WAF provides an additional layer of protection that allows businesses to apply security policies and rules on their Amazon-hosted websites.

Organizations must take cybersecurity seriously. However, many businesses do not have the time, knowledge, equipment, or staff to carry out accurate compliance options. This is where ThreatSTOP comes in. ThreatSTOP will help your company by protecting DNS, working with AWS WAF and defending your network at all times. ThreatSTOP can even customize security to fit your unique needs. Are you ready to stop the threats? Call ThreatSTOP!
