Introduction
DNS Watchdog gives organisations visibility into DNS security risks across all their providers and zones, with a full audit trail.
Why DNS Watchdog?
As organisations grow, DNS sprawl becomes a security blind spot. Records accumulate across multiple providers, subdomains get forgotten, certificates expire silently, and nobody has a complete picture of what's exposed to the internet.
DNS Watchdog brings every provider into one inventory and scans it for security problems automatically.
What it does
- Connects to your DNS providers and continuously synchronises every zone and record
- Scans for security issues including exposed ports, certificate problems, dangling subdomains, and email authentication misconfigurations
- Captures screenshots of web endpoints for visual verification
- Finds the domains trading on your brands — lookalikes, copycat shops, phishing pages — has each one assessed for risk, and queues them for review
- Tracks every change with a full audit trail and diff views
- Sends notifications of DNS changes and new or resolved issues via email, Slack, Teams, or webhooks, and streams them into your SIEM as OCSF or CEF events
- Provides on-demand tools to validate BIMI, score email deliverability, and track DNS propagation worldwide
