If you're still using 2016 metrics to measure your 2026 defensibility, you might not be standing behind a moat, you might be standing in a puddle. 💧

DNSFilter CTO TK Keanini just published a piece in Forbes Technology Council on what actually makes a technical moat defensible in the age of generative AI. It's not your code. Code is increasingly commoditized. The durable advantage has shifted to what AI can't replicate: Proprietary data, workflow entrenchment, and infrastructure that compounds over time.

Worth a read if you're thinking about where your competitive edge actually lives in 2026.

We're thrilled to announce that DNSFilter has officially joined the World Economic Forum-hosted Cybercrime Atlas as a community member. 🌐

The Cybercrime Atlas brings together global law enforcement agencies, private-sector security leaders, and international research organizations to map, disrupt, and dismantle the criminal networks behind today's most damaging cyber threats. Insights from the Atlas have supported INTERPOL-led operations resulting in thousands of arrests and the recovery of over $140 million across multiple countries.

Cybercriminals share infrastructure, tools, and playbooks across borders. Defenders need to do the same.

DNSFilter's vantage point in DNS traffic gives us early visibility into the infrastructure cybercriminals rely on—newly registered phishing domains, command-and-control callbacks, malware distribution infrastructure—often before it appears in conventional threat feeds. We could not be more proud to contribute that intelligence to a community of this caliber.

We're looking for a Director of Marketing, PMO to join the DNSFilter team 💫

This role sits at the center of how our marketing organization operates — owning program planning and delivery, budget management, cross-functional alignment, and our Asana instance. If you're someone who loves bringing order to a fast-moving team and has a track record of delivering complex programs at scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Knowing something is blocked is only half the story. 🔍

CyberSight's two newest capabilities — Threat Trends and Timeline — give you the other half.

Threat Trends answers the question security teams always struggle with: where is risk actually concentrating? Instead of manually filtering logs user by user, you get a single view showing your top threat categories, riskiest users, and how activity is trending over time. MSPs can pull this per-organization — no custom reports, no switching tools.

Timeline takes you deeper. When something looks wrong, it reconstructs everything a device was doing hour by hour — applications open, sites visited, machine lock/unlock states — so you can investigate in one view instead of piecing it together across multiple tools.

Both are live today, included in Pro, Enterprise, and Education plans at no extra cost.

A prospect came to us with a problem: VPN connectivity issues caused by their DNS filtering service fighting for control of the device. Sound familiar? 👀

DNSFilter's new feature, DNS PreCheck solves exactly that problem — filtering traffic locally before DNS resolution even happens, so VPNs and captive portals just work. No conflicts. No headaches.

If your company shut down its entire CTI program tomorrow — would anyone notice? Would the adversary? 👀

That's the question DNSFilter's own Brian Hein posed at the FIRST CTI Conference in Munich last week. His argument: the industry has confused being busy with having impact. IOCs ingested, reports produced, tickets closed — none of that matters if the adversary keeps getting paid.

Brian and James made the case for a different way of thinking about threat intelligence: stop optimizing for action, start engineering for outcomes. Measure dollars denied. Wreck adversary economics. Share more, not less.

We recapped the full talk — including the slides and session recording — on the DNSFilter blog.
