Why not take a shortcut to achieve security? OneDNS protects school network security in the cloud!

There is a place that gathers the most energetic young people in the world. Although they are not very worldly-wise, they are full of curiosity about the online world.
There is a place where the best minds gather to conduct cutting-edge scientific research, and they will share their achievements with students.

Yes, this place is the school! However, when the campus gathers high-value data and a large group of young people who love to surf the Internet, network security has become a topic that cannot be ignored.

Securing school network security requires a shortcut

Compared to companies or governments, schools are a completely different type of organization. Since schools are usually not for profit, most of their daily expenses rely on education grants, so they more or less adhere to the frugal style of "spending every penny in half". At the same time, schools include two groups with different attributes: faculty and students. Many security management methods commonly used in companies or governments cannot be fully implemented in schools. These two factors make it impossible for colleges and universities to spend a lot of money to build complete and expensive security facilities, nor can they use more stringent Internet behavior management software to reduce security risks.

In addition, the school has a large number of students, many networked devices, and relatively scattered colleges and disciplines, making it difficult to fully cover all online behaviors and terminals. In reality, the school's security and network management personnel are relatively limited and the tasks are heavy. It is impossible to achieve "comprehensive" security management in a complex network and terminal environment.

Under multiple constraints, the school once became a disaster area for cyber attacks and APT. This not only made students and faculty miserable, but in many cases, even the school's own teaching system and scientific research data were greatly threatened. After being in a harsh environment for a long time, many students became masters of "reinstalling the system"; many teachers also taught themselves and became "experts" in network technology.

The technical training gained through network security is obviously a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. The most important task is to find a "shortcut" for campus network security that can achieve comprehensive threat protection at a lower deployment and operation and maintenance cost.

But does such a shortcut really exist?

Taking shortcuts to achieve school network security

As a first-tier domestic network security vendor, Weibu Online has found after years of analysis that most viruses or Trojans, after being successfully implanted, need to communicate with specific URLs to obtain attack instructions or send stolen data.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, organizations do not need to actually install antivirus software on every terminal and server, or disassemble all data packets. They only need to intercept the URL or domain name corresponding to the attack behavior to prevent most malicious attacks and ensure safe Internet access.

Based on this principle, Weibu Online took the lead in launching the OneDNS solution, whose security protection is achieved by relying on Weibu Online's comprehensive and accurate threat intelligence and refusing to resolve malicious URLs.

As a security product with extremely lightweight implementation methods, OneDNS is delivered entirely in SaaS mode. After opening an account, the school only needs to enter the sorted network exit IP address list into the product, and then point the DNS server on the exit side to the IP of OneDNS to complete the deployment. The entire deployment process only takes a few hours.

The SaaS model of OneDNS does not require the purchase of any hardware equipment, the installation of probes or software, and no operation and maintenance work. As long as you subscribe to the service and complete the configuration, you can provide 7*24 hours of security protection for all devices. Obviously, compared with various complicated, redundant and costly traditional security methods, OneDNS's efficient and lightweight security protection model is extremely friendly.

At the same time, Weibu Online also provides a very considerate "educational discount" policy. OneDNS only charges according to the number of faculty and staff computers and the number of servers that need to connect to the external network, while the larger number of student terminals is completely free. In other words, OneDNS not only realizes on-demand payment, but also provides a "buy 1 get N free" education discount.

OneDNS takes a different approach, unique micro-step online

From the principle point of view, the technical principle of OneDNS is clever but not profound. There are thousands of experts in the field of network attack and defense in China, but why is it that only Weibu Online has launched a security protection product based on DNS? In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real barrier of OneDNS is not the technical thinking, but the accurate and timely knowledge of which URLs and domain names need to be blocked, which is exactly what Weibu Online is good at.

WeiBu Online is a professional network threat detection and response company. It has won the "Outstanding Technical Support Unit of the National Network and Information Security Information Notification Mechanism", the "2020 Network Security Technology Application Pilot Demonstration Project" recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the "2020 Network Security Threat Identification Advanced Unit" and other awards. It was selected for three consecutive times in 2017-2020 in the "Global Cyber ​​Threat Intelligence Market Guide" of Gartner, a world-renowned IT information consulting company.

In addition, Weibo Online also operates the "X Intelligence Community", the largest, most active and most widely covered threat intelligence analysis community in China. Hundreds of thousands of registered members share a large number of newly discovered harmful IPs, domain names, URLs, vulnerabilities and virus samples every day, which also provides strong support for the threat intelligence capabilities behind OneDNS.

Currently, many schools have connected to Weibu Online OneDNS. In one school, OneDNS can identify dozens of threat events every day, including APT, botnets, Trojans, phishing websites, malware, mining pools, etc., with high-precision alarms up to 99.9%, which has increased the school's security emergency response speed to more than 90%. While optimizing the Internet experience, it has greatly improved the school's security management and control capabilities.

Since Weibo Online has a vast amount of intelligence covering the entire network, it can accurately identify any new malicious domain names in the world. Coupled with the powerful intelligence analysis capabilities of cloud AI, it is able to launch OneDNS, a comprehensive threat protection, efficient and lightweight SaaS gateway security cloud service. After several rounds of financing, it continues to strengthen its TDP and OneEDR product lines, providing more comprehensive, detailed and effective multiple security protection tools for the majority of government and enterprise users.

With the support of excellent products and higher efficiency, the renewal rate of various security protection SaaS services of Weibo Online is as high as 95%, and OneDNS has connected to tens of millions of terminals in 187 large enterprises and 539 workplaces in just one year.

Why not take a shortcut to cybersecurity in educational institutions?

The increasingly diverse attack methods and attack realization methods have made all types of organizations face serious threats in the digital age. For colleges and universities with limited funds, large number of terminals, difficult management, limited security protection capabilities and operation and maintenance levels, how to achieve "higher security protection" at a lower cost when the devil is one foot high is a question that tests wisdom.

The success of OneDNS relies on mature product and commercial design, and the support behind it is the strong threat intelligence analysis and compilation capabilities of Weibu Online. As for schools, which are the foundation of the country, Weibu Online is also brave enough to take on the responsibility and provide high-intensity preferential policies.

With these three benefits, why not take a shortcut to achieve network security in colleges and universities?
