Stronger Together: Enclave and SafeDNS Advance Zero Trust with DNS-Level Security

In the modern cybersecurity landscape, organizations need more than just isolated tools - they need tightly integrated solutions that work hand-in-hand to deliver scalable protection, simplicity, and visibility across every layer of their digital infrastructure. That’s why we’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between SafeDNS and Enclave, a leading provider of zero-trust network access.

Secure Connectivity + Smart DNS Protection

Both SafeDNS and Enclave are built on a foundation of proactive defense. With Enclave, you can eliminate network attack surfaces and create encrypted connection that restrict access to only trusted, authenticated users. At the same time, SafeDNS protects your users at the DNS layer - preventing threats before they reach your infrastructure.

Together, these solutions form a powerful security stack: SafeDNS fortifies DNS resolution and content access, while Enclave governs encrypted communications between trusted endpoints. By integrating these layers, organizations can block malicious domains and unauthorized communications in a single motion - whether users are remote, hybrid, or on-prem.

What makes SafeDNS even more aligned with today’s compliance-driven security frameworks is its 3R Concept - Reveal, React, Resist:

– Reveal: Gain full visibility into DNS activity across your network, uncovering hidden threats, suspicious behavior, and usage anomalies in real time.
– React: Instantly apply policies or blocklists to respond to new or emerging threats as they arise.
– Resist: Harden your infrastructure against future attacks through intelligent filtering, dynamic AI-based threat detection, and DNS-layer access control.

This model directly supports compliance with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, by extending protection and visibility into the foundational layer of internet communication: DNS.

By using SafeDNS as the primary DNS resolver inside the Enclave environment, organizations can align their operations with NIST best practices while benefiting from two solutions that are truly complementary by design.

Joint Value: Why It Matters

The real value emerges in the synergy between SafeDNS and Enclave. Here’s how:

– Zero Trust Meets DNS Security: Enclave creates encrypted overlays and strict access policies, SafeDNS ensures no one in that overlay is reaching out to risky or unknown destinations.
– Seamless Policy Enforcement: With SafeDNS set as the primary DNS resolver inside Enclave, admins can apply DNS filtering, block lists, threat detection, and regulatory compliance rules globally, without complex routing or hardware.
– Visibility & Control Across the Stack: Security teams can enforce and monitor DNS policies even across dynamic Enclave-created overlays. That means granular visibility into both who is connecting and what they’re resolving, which is critical for detecting lateral movement, data exfiltration, or insider threats.

Use Case: Secure, Compliant, and Easy

Imagine a distributed team using Enclave for secure access to internal systems. With SafeDNS embedded as the DNS resolver in their Enclave environment, the same team benefits from:

– Automatic blocking of malware, phishing, and DNS tunneling attempts
– Protection from dynamic DNS Threats (DNS Spoofing, DNS Hijacking, DNS Injection and more)
– CIPA, ISO, SOC, HIPAA, and KCSIE compliance at the DNS level
– Smart categorization of over 116M domains and 2B+ URLs with real-time updates
– One-click DNS-based content filtering for productivity, legal compliance, and security

Why This Matters to You

Whether you’re an MSP, a security-conscious enterprise, or a growing remote-first company, by implementing Enclave + SafeDNS solutions, you can deploy Zero Trust access and DNS-layer protection as a unified experience. It’s easier, more powerful, and doesn’t require rip-and-replace changes.

To activate SafeDNS within your Enclave network:

1) Select SafeDNS as your primary DNS resolver in the Enclave setup.
2) Apply your DNS filtering policy via the SafeDNS dashboard.
3) Enjoy a clean, threat-resistant, and regulation-compliant DNS layer across your infrastructure.
