Next-Gen DNS Cloud Security, Authoritative DNS & Real-Time Threat Control
Carrier-grade DNS load balancing (PFD), recursive threat filtering (BDM), packet-level DNS flow inspection, authoritative zone management, and automated regulatory compliance.
EnterpriseCybersecurity made easy.
Atrios delivers high-performance DNS load balancing, real-time query telemetry, authoritative zone hosting, and AI-powered threat control in a single unified architecture.
Unified DNS Protection &Intelligence
Transform your DNS from a vulnerable blind spot into your primary line of defense. Deliver line-rate traffic filtering, live packet inspection, and authoritative zone management across global hybrid environments.
Carrier-Grade PFD
Distributed Packet Filter Daemons handle line-rate DNS load balancing, DDoS defense, ACL enforcement, and sub-millisecond query routing.
DNS Flow Telemetry
Real-time deep query inspection displaying timestamps, client IPs, destination countries, protocols, and instant filter drilldown.
Engineered for Massive Scale:
The Atrios Hybrid Architecture
Atrios decouples packet ingress from recursive resolution, delivering sub-millisecond query performance,
carrier-grade resilience, and controlled configuration deployment across multi-node topologies.
Ingress Layer
Packet Filter Daemons (PFD)
High-throughput, Anycast-ready DNS load balancers and traffic gateways. PFDs handle line-rate query ingress, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack routing, hardware-accelerated ACL drops, and dynamic rate limiting to stop volumetric DDoS attacks before they touch upstream resolvers.
- Anycast & Multi-IP Load Balancing
- Automated ACL Drops & Rate Limiting
- Health Probing & Zero-Downtime Failover
Resolution Engine
Backend DNS Modules (BDM)
Intelligent recursive resolvers delivering lightning-fast DNS resolution. Features sub-millisecond in-memory caching, latency-optimized upstream forwarders, real-time threat policy evaluation, and transparent sinkholing of malicious domains.
- In-Memory Cache with High Hitrates
- Latency-Optimized Resolver Forwarding
- Automated Sinkholing & Redirection
Staging & Deployment
Safe "Commit to Atrios"
Eliminate risk when managing mission-critical infrastructure. Operators stage, review, and validate filtering rules, zones, and load-balancer configurations before deploying via "Commit to Atrios", with full deployment logs and instant one-click rollback.
- Staged Rule Review & Pre-Flight Check
- Atomic Cluster-Wide Configuration Sync
- Commit History with One-Click Rollback
Multi-Layered Policy Engine:
Intelligent Filtering & Threat Control
Atrios inspects DNS requests against granular security policies, category classifications,
and application signatures to protect users, sites, and workloads across the enterprise.
100+ App Signatures
One-click discovery and blocking of popular applications across social networks, streaming media, file sharing, gaming, and anonymizer VPN proxies that bypass security perimeters.
Keyword & TLD Rules
Enforce regex and wildcard keyword matching, and block entire suspicious top-level domain suffixes (such as high-risk TLDs) to prevent newly registered malicious domains from resolving.
Allowlist & Denylist Engine
Deploy custom domain and category allowlists and denylists at organizational or site levels. Supports bulk CSV import/export for seamless migration of enterprise security lists.
IP Whitelisting & Filtering
Control DNS access by client IPv4/IPv6 address or CIDR range. Restrict resolver endpoints exclusively to trusted enterprise egress IPs and branch office subnets.
DNS Redirection & Sinkholing
Transparently steer malicious queries away from command-and-control servers toward remediation sinkholes, branded block pages, or quarantine notification endpoints.
Carrier-Grade DNS Security &
Real-Time Policy Enforcement
Distributed across Anycast edge nodes, Atrios intercepts threats before connections establish, optimizing internet latency while guaranteeing compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Technical & Architectural Details
Explore how Atrios integrates into modern enterprise networks, handles massive query volume,
and satisfies stringent security and compliance requirements.
Atrios separates ingress traffic management from recursive resolution. Packet Filter Daemons (PFD) operate at line-rate to handle Anycast ingress, DDoS defense, and rate-limiting. Queries requiring resolution pass to Backend DNS Modules (BDM) with an optimized in-memory cache and latency-based upstream forwarders, consistently maintaining sub-millisecond response times.
