Advanced DNS Security by Palo Alto Networks is a cloud-delivered security service that provides real-time protection against network-based DNS hijacking and DNS-layer threats. The system uses predictive analytics and artificial intelligence to disrupt attacks utilizing DNS for command and control or data theft. It analyzes DNS responses in real-time, performs automated discovery of domains, and integrates with Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) and Prisma Access to secure DNS traffic without requiring DNS traffic rerouting or infrastructure changes.
