Our Company

We work on core Internet protocols and improve the Internet for millions of people around the world. OpenDNS provides a cloud-delivered network security service that automates protection for any device, anywhere, against advanced attacks before they can cause damage. Complementing our unique delivery model for cyber-security, we have a ‘satellite view’ of the Internet and use big data analysis techniques with machine learning to automate cyber protection. With these capabilities we can predict and prevent emergent threats before they happen. Our OpenDNS Global Network is the world’s largest Internet security network, protecting more than 50 million daily active users across our 23 globally distributed data centers. OpenDNS is a place where the best ideas are quickly transformed into products, features, campaigns, and company-wide practices, so it won’t be long before you witness the results of your hard work. OpenDNS is a globally available free DNS service. Providing safer, faster and smarter DNS is important; being reliable is the foundation. OpenDNS takes this responsibility seriously, and transparency about our service uptime and performance is critical. We deliver security at the DNS layer, using the Internet’s existing infrastructure, to keep malware from compromising your systems and to stop botnets or phishing from exfiltrating your data. Leverage our up-to-the-minute view and analysis of 2% of the world’s Internet activity to stay ahead of attacks. Enhance your threat intelligence by seeing where attacks are being staged on the Internet. In seconds, our cloud platform displays your global activity from all locations. Instantly, identify targeted attacks by comparing your activity—over any port, protocol, or app—to the rest of the world. By just pointing DNS to us, security is simple to deploy. By enforcing security in the cloud, Umbrella is easy to manage. No hardware to install. No software to maintain. Nothing you need to update. We have never been afraid to do things differently, and that includes our approach to security. The traditional collect and react model cannot keep up with today’s rapidly evolving threats and ingenious attackers. We have developed a new strategy. Utilizing our global network, which sees 2% of the world’s Internet requests, we have engineered a predictive security solution that anticipates and stops malicious activity before it threatens your network. While the rise of the roaming workforce has eroded the traditional network perimeter, Umbrella by OpenDNS has you covered. It works anywhere, across any port, protocol, or app – and because Umbrella is delivered via the cloud, it is lightning-fast and easily scalable.
