SafeDNS Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Since we are a headless ecommerce organization, and it is one in which the front-end and back-end systems are decoupled, meaning that the front-end, which is responsible for presenting the website to customers, is separate from the back-end, which is responsible for managing the ecommerce functionality. In this context, SafeDNS is used to protect the back-end systems, that is the server and database, from online threats and to monitor and control internet activity related to the ecommerce systems.At fabric we use it for the following: 1. Productivity: By using SafeDNS to block access to specific websites, such as social media or gaming sites, during work hours, help increase productivity by reducing distractions for employees. 2. SafeDNS can be configured to block unwanted traffic, this can help to keep the server and the network resources in optimal state, and also it will help in preventing DDoS attacks 3. SafeDNS allows to create different user groups and assign different policies to them, so the startup can restrict access to certain resources, or to certain website categories.
Pros
- Protecting sensitive data: By monitoring and controlling the internet activity on the back-end systems, the startup can protect sensitive data such as customer information, financial transactions, and other sensitive data.
- By using SafeDNS to monitor and control employee internet activity, a headless e-commerce startup can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements related to internet usage, such as data privacy and security laws.
- SafeDNS can be configured to block unwanted traffic, this can help to keep the server and the network resources in optimal state, and also it will help in preventing DDoS attacks
Cons
- Filtering accuracy: While SafeDNS provides filtering of websites, it's possible that it could be improved to more accurately identify and block unwanted content. This could be achieved by implementing more advanced algorithms or incorporating more data sources.
- Reporting and analytics: Some users may find that the reporting and analytics capabilities of SafeDNS are lacking and could be improved, for example by providing more detailed information about internet usage, or more sophisticated filtering and reporting tools.
- Compatibility: Some organizations may have legacy systems that are not fully compatible with SafeDNS. Improving compatibility could make it easier for these organizations to integrate SafeDNS into their existing infrastructure.
