Question 1

What specific threats does ThreatOrigin block?

Accepted Answer

We cover the full spectrum of modern network threats. This includes phishing links, ransomware command-and-control (C2), malware callbacks, botnets, and zero-day malicious domains that haven't yet been listed on public blacklists.

Question 2

Can you detect threats that have never been seen before?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our AI engines analyze domain attributes in real-time—like registration age, hosting reputation, and traffic patterns—to identify and block "fresh" malicious domains before they can hurt you, often days before they appear in standard threat feeds.

Question 3

Does it protect against ransomware?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While ransomware often enters via email, it needs to "phone home" to exchange encryption keys. ThreatOrigin kills this communication at the DNS layer, preventing the ransomware from activating or spreading further.

Question 4

What about phishing attacks?

Accepted Answer

We block users from reaching phishing sites even if they click the link. Because we classify domains instantly, we can stop users from landing on brand-new credential-harvesting pages that traditional email filters might miss.

Question 5

Can ThreatOrigin detect DNS tunneling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in detecting advanced data exfiltration techniques, including "ultra-slow" DNS tunneling where attackers leak data in tiny chunks over weeks or months to stay under the radar.

Question 6

What is a DGA (Domain Generation Algorithm), and do you stop it?

Accepted Answer

Attackers use DGAs to generate thousands of random domains to hide their command servers. ThreatOrigin's AI recognizes these algorithmic patterns immediately and blocks the connection, cutting off the attacker's control line.

Question 7

How accurate is your categorization?

Accepted Answer

We categorize billions of domains with extreme precision to minimize false positives. We don't just guess; we use historical data and behavioral analysis to distinguish between a legitimate new business website and a malicious pop-up.

Question 8

Do you block "parked" or "dead" domains?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Attackers often hijack parked or abandoned domains to launch attacks. We identify and block traffic to these high-risk categories by default to reduce your attack surface.

Question 9

Can we customize what gets blocked?

Accepted Answer

You have full control. While we provide best-practice blocklists out of the box, you can easily create custom allow/block lists, whitelist specific internal domains, or apply different policies to different user groups (e.g., stricter rules for Finance vs. IT).

Question 10

Does this help with shadow IT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because we see every DNS request, we can show you exactly which SaaS applications and cloud services your employees are using—giving you visibility into "Shadow IT" usage that might bypass your corporate firewall.
