Managed DNS Services

We use Akamai DNS across the whole organization as a front-line protection tool. Our business operates with a few different brands and with a high turnover in staff/drivers. Making sure anyone on the network was protected was important to us. The DNS service gave us protection mainly for DDoS. It also offered us a starting point towards building out a zero-trust network.
