Introduction
Hi, I’m Peter from Authentic Web. I’m very excited about what we’re delivering to our customers with DNS Inspector, and I wanted to record this short video to show you how it helps IT, digital, and InfoSec teams gain visibility into DNS vulnerabilities.
DNS risk is a massive, largely unseen business issue. It represents a compliance gap, a change‑management challenge, and a daily pain point for IT teams trying to investigate problems without the right tools.
Most teams simply don’t have visibility into DNS exposures that threat actors actively scan for and exploit. Those gaps can lead to business‑critical outages, network compromise, and data theft.
If your teams can’t easily see and manage these vulnerabilities, your business remains exposed. DNS Inspector solves that problem.
What DNS Inspector Does
DNS Inspector is a vulnerability‑reporting system designed to make risk mitigation easy. It empowers teams to discover, investigate, resolve, and verify that DNS issues are closed—providing complete visibility to help organizations get and keep control of their external DNS.
Let’s take a quick look inside the platform.
Platform Walk‑Through
When you log in, you’ll see the DNS Inspector Dashboard, a single pane of glass displaying a vulnerability report. The data is grouped into two primary views: infrastructure and security/compliance.
Infrastructure View
This shows key components such as:
- Active registrars
- Managed DNS providers
- IP addresses associated with A‑records
- Secondary DNS coverage for redundancy
You can drill into any category. For example, reviewing IP addresses may reveal ones your organization no longer controls. This often happens when someone sets up a program—say, on AWS or DigitalOcean—launches a web service, and later shuts it down without removing the DNS record.
That leftover record creates an orphaned IP, which attackers can claim and use to impersonate your brand online. It’s a serious issue we see everywhere.
Security and Compliance View
Here, proprietary probes examine HTTP and HTTPS connections, returning data like:
- Security severity
- Status code and TLS version
- Response headers
- Certificate details
DNS Inspector also checks:
- Redirect chains to ensure every hop is HTTPS‑encrypted
- Dangling CNAMEs, which point to missing resources attackers can hijack
- Lame delegations, where missing start‑of‑authority records expose domains
- SPF and DMARC coverage and syntax
- DNSSEC key integrity and proper registry signatures
You can drill down on any result to review detailed tables showing records, response codes, and compliance status. For instance, a domain view exposes all its subdomains, IPs, and configuration details so you can verify settings quickly.
Why Visibility Matters
DNS Inspector gives your teams clear, actionable data to secure your digital footprint. Cyber threats are evolving fast, and AI is accelerating how attackers discover DNS weaknesses most companies don’t even know exist.
These exposures enable phishing, malware distribution, credential theft, and DNS hijacking. Getting visibility is the first step toward eliminating them.
How to Get Started
Getting started is simple:
- Book a call using the link below for a short scoping session.
- Provide your domain list.
- Within 24 hours, you’ll see your organization’s vulnerabilities inside DNS Inspector.
- You’ll also receive a complimentary security assessment and a clear mitigation plan.
DNS risk is real—but it’s completely manageable once you have the right visibility.
We look forward to helping your organization strengthen control, security, and trust at the foundation of your digital infrastructure.
Thank you for watching.
