Enhancing subscriber services through DNS
Easily expand delivery of value-added security services through a cost-effective DNS-based approach


Security services are a natural value-added solution for ISPs, telcos, cable operators and mobile network operators to offer. But there is a catch: most service providers seeking to expand revenue streams through value-added security services have done so using legacy approaches.
While these approaches can support value-added services, they also involve significant challenges, including high costs, protracted rollout, and management complexity. The result? Most of these well-intentioned security plays never leave the planning stage or are relegated to the end of life sooner than initially planned.
This whitepaper explores how the Domain Name System (DNS) is an efficient and scalable alternative, one which enables rich service deployments without overtaxing network resources and staffing. Download it now for a comprehensive guide to expanding delivery of value-added security services.
