About Whalebone

Whalebone specializes in providing user-friendly cybersecurity solutions for telecom companies, ISPs, enterprises, and government entities. Its services ensure the protection of millions of internet users from threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware, all without the need for downloads.

The European Commission has recognized Whalebone’s expertise by appointing it as the leader of the European Union’s DNS4EU project. This role designates Whalebone as the sole developer and operator of the official DNS resolver for the EU, in collaboration with a consortium of 13 partners from 10 countries, reinforcing Whalebone's proficiency in securing DNS servers against digital threats.

The widespread adoption of Whalebone Aura by telecom providers worldwide confirms the company's capability to deliver robust and user-friendly DNS security. Whalebone’s product range also features Peacemaker for regional ISPs and Immunity for businesses and public institutions, both of which have been key in defending against DNS-related threats.

With a global customer base of over 300 and a team exceeding 100 members, Whalebone is on a mission to extend cybersecurity protection to 1 billion people.

    Pros:
    Quite practical and easy to use. There is no need to set up in any complicated way and everything works as it should. Good technical support.
    Cons:
    It is not possible to deploy both primary and secondary DNS domains under one vendor. Then it would also depend on the price how much the DNS would cost.

    Reasons for choosing Whalebone

    Simplicity, reliability, CZ product, trouble-free deployment and operation.

    Pros:
    It was easy to get started and we got all the help we needed. We needed a cybersecurity solution that would protect our network and users on it. At the same time we didn’t want our users to download anything and be protected automatically - Whalebone was only solution to tick all the boxes.
    Cons:
    Nothing comes to mind. The point of Whalebone for us was to be protected at all time without worrying about anything and so far it’s been just like that.

    Best benefit of using Whalebone on our network is that we are able to prevent many of phishing attacks on our end users and keep them better secured. Also, we have via webhooks immediate response on every fishy traffic on our DNS resolvers.

    Pros:
    I thought only very large or very expensive DNS solutions would handle malware DNS entries and neutralise them - whalebone proved me wrong. Excellent solution.
    Cons:
    None, to be honest. it worked straight out of the box for us. We built four resolvers and placed these around our network - and it all worked.
