DNSDB Details

Farsight collects Passive DNS data from its global sensor array. It then filters and verifies the DNS transactions before inserting them into the DNSDB, along with ICANN-sponsored zone file access download data. The end result is the highest-quality and most comprehensive Passive DNS data service of its kind - with more than 100 billion DNS records since 2010.

Farsight’s DNSDB transforms threat feeds into actionable, relevant threat intelligence in real time to increase the value of an organization’s existing threat intelligence. Its high-performance, indexed, time-series DNS intelligence data service can ultimately improve visibility for an organization’s security program and protect its infrastructure from current and future threats.

Farsight’s DNSDB is built for ease of use. Chain and pivot capabilities allow security teams to easily swing from one query to another. Time fencing, output tailoring and limiting of record types are among the capabilities that enable investigators to access the exact results they need. DNSDB queries can be automated into existing workflows through a RESTful API, web-enabled UI and integration with security incident and event management solutions, security automation solutions and threat intelligence platforms.
