“The service is anonymized and operates on the network level which means that Netivalvur does not store private data. The platform does not have or store any data about the websites the user visits or their content, it only checks whether the link is malicious or being managed by people with bad intentions. If the latter is true, Netivalvur alerts the user and blocks the initial website visit. However, the client is the one who makes the final decision.”
"With this product, we aim to provide an affordable and simple cyber security solution that is very easy to implement.

Immunity References
Find out how protective DNS Whalebone Immunity keeps our enterprise and institutional customers safe.
“Immediately on the first day of having Whalebone in operation, we found an infected device. My colleagues have taken a sample and put the device into isolation. The service looks great.”
“Whalebone Immunity already proved that it can stop new threats. It blocked malicious websites the moment our users tried to reach them. From our experience, it would take at least another day for a traditional firewall to add it to its threat database. This is what layered security is all about.”
“There were no issues whatsoever, which is not very common with security products. Since we absolutely loved the results of the pilot, we decided to implement the product to the whole network.”
“I can no longer imagine network administration without this level of protection. My only regret is that we didn't start using it sooner.”
“Based on our research on DNS security, Whalebone Immunity truly stands out above the other solutions. It’s really easy to deploy and maintain, yet very effective.”
Protect your whole network in under 2 hours.

Any questions I had were answered in the documentation. I did not log any tickets for the set-up process whatsoever.”
“I keep in mind three main highlights. Immediately after I had forwarded the traffic, I saw a huge amount of blocked queries to malicious domains. It was made without any negative effect on our customers’ wanted traffic. This is really a zero disruption solution. On top of that, I realized that not only outgoing malicious traffic was decreased, but the incoming attacks vanished too.”
“Our IPs and ranges are not blacklisted anymore. Moreover, our customers appreciate us working with them to improve their security and clean their devices. And it is all because of you!”
