DNS risk assessment for enterprise domains
DNS Inspector™ by Authentic Web gives enterprises unmatched visibility into their DNS environment. Detect configuration issues before they become vulnerabilities, monitor changes in real time, and reduce security risks across your entire digital footprint. Strengthen resilience and maintain trust at the root.
Why use DNS Inspector?
Many teams believe their external DNS is fully under control. DNS Inspector often shows otherwise. It helps organizations identify issues that may be unknown internally but visible externally, including dangling CNAMEs, orphaned A records, insecure redirects, lame delegations, and gaps in SPF, DMARC, and DNSSEC. DNS Inspector gives security and infrastructure teams a clear picture of what needs attention and where remediation should begin.
Why these issues matter
Left uninspected and unresolved, common DNS issues can create openings for spoofing, impersonation, phishing, hijacking, and man-in-the-middle risk. Ultimately, they can also lead to service disruption, loss of trust, and brand damage.
Identify DNS weaknesses
Find dangling CNAMEs, orphaned A records, insecure redirects, lame delegations, and gaps in SPF, DMARC, and DNSSEC.
Reduce manual effort
Automate tasks that are difficult to sustain manually across large and changing domain environments.
Support faster remediation
Concise reporting helps teams understand the issues, set priorities, and move more quickly toward remediation.
How DNS Inspector works
DNS Inspector tests external DNS for a wide range of issues. It reviews DNS settings, redirects, live destinations, and email authentication settings, then lays out the issues clearly for remediation. The result is a practical assessment that helps teams see what needs attention and act on it.

Strategic fit
For many organizations, DNS issues are not one-off problems. They are a sign that DNS management lacks central control, a reliable source of truth, or consistent change management.
That is why simply finding and fixing broken items is often not enough.
DNS Inspector helps teams identify what is wrong today. It also helps them see why these issues tend to recur, and why stronger DNS management practices matter as part of a healthier approach to managing the critical DNS component of the external attack surface.
