ClearSkies DNS Shield has officially launched in Saudi Arabia to protect organizations from cyber threats targeting the Domain Name System.
The cybersecurity company introduced this solution to address vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure as local entities accelerate their digital transformation. Meanwhile, traditional security tools often overlook this layer, leaving organizations vulnerable to advanced attacks.
The Domain Name System acts as the directory of the internet, connecting users to online services. However, malicious actors frequently exploit this layer for phishing, malware, ransomware, and data exfiltration. Consequently, securing this layer is critical for maintaining business continuity.
Launch of ClearSkies DNS Shield
The newly launched ClearSkies DNS Shield operates directly at the DNS resolution layer to block threats before connections are established. Specifically, the system analyzes every query in real time using behavioral analytics and machine learning. This proactive approach helps security teams identify malicious patterns even if the domain is previously unknown.
“DNS Shield transforms what is traditionally treated as an overlooked vulnerability into a high-value strategic asset.”
Eleftherios Antoniades, Founder and CTO of ClearSkies
Technical Capabilities and Threat Detection
The platform uses artificial intelligence models to detect anomalies and identify activities such as DNS tunneling. In addition, it provides visibility into network traffic, users, and devices to generate security telemetry. This capability allows organizations to reduce operational noise and understand infrastructure events more clearly.
Deployment and Integration Options
Delivered as a cloud-native software-as-a-service, the solution requires only a single DNS forwarding configuration for deployment. Furthermore, the platform scales automatically and updates its threat intelligence continuously without requiring hardware or software installations. It protects remote, office, and roaming users without needing a virtual private network.
Organizations can deploy the ClearSkies DNS Shield as a standalone product or integrate it with the broader security platform. When integrated, DNS events automatically enrich live investigations and trigger automated response playbooks. This integration helps security teams reduce incident response times significantly.
Compliance and Operational Resilience
For entities in regulated industries, the system supports compliance through detailed monitoring, historical logging, and policy enforcement. Notably, the solution incorporates DNSSEC functionality to verify the integrity of DNS responses. This feature protects organizations from spoofing and manipulation attacks.
This launch supports Saudi organizations as they expand their digital footprints under Saudi Vision 2030, which drives the digital economy. By securing DNS traffic, businesses can prevent downtime and protect sensitive information. Ultimately, the company aims to support secure digital growth across the Kingdom.
