Whalebone Aura is a network-based DNS security solution for telecom operators that safeguards users directly at the DNS layer –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ without requiring software installation. By filtering malicious and unwanted domains in real time, Aura prevents access to phishing, ransomware, and botnet servers. 

It uses global threat intelligence and AI-driven analytics to detect and block emerging cyberattacks across the entire network.

DNS-layer protection works before threats reach user devices or applications. Unlike antivirus or firewalls that rely on endpoint agents or deep packet inspection, Whalebone Aura blocks harmful connections at the domain resolution stage, stopping attacks before downloads or communications occur. 

This makes it ideal for ISPs and mobile operators seeking scalable, privacy-preserving protection for all subscribers.

Whalebone Aura blocks a wide range of threats, including phishing, ransomware, botnets, malware command-and-control, DNS spoofing, and fraudulent domains. 

The platform continuously updates its threat intelligence based on global data sources, ensuring users are protected from both known and zero-day DNS-based attacks.

Aura’s AI models analyze billions of DNS queries to identify suspicious patterns and domain behaviors that indicate emerging threats. By combining machine learning, behavioral analytics, and threat correlation, the platform can recognize and block previously unseen (zero-day) attacks without relying solely on signature databases.

Yes. Whalebone Aura operates entirely at the network level, allowing telecom operators to protect every device –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ smartphones, laptops, IoT equipment, and smart TVs –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ without the need for users to install or configure applications. This ensures full-coverage DNS security that is effortless for end users and scalable for service providers.

Whalebone Aura enables operators to combine connectivity and security in one trusted service. They can offer it as an add-on, bundle it with selected plans, or include it as part of their core connectivity offering. This flexibility allows telcos to meet diverse market needs, strengthen customer loyalty, and drive sustainable revenue growth while positioning secure connectivity as a standard for all users.

Yes. Whalebone Aura provides consistent protection across mobile data, Wi-Fi, and roaming connections via our Offnet Protection. Whether users are on-net or off-net, DNS queries are routed securely through Whalebone’s threat-intelligence network, ensuring uninterrupted defense against malicious domains wherever users connect.

Yes. Whalebone Aura is fully GDPR-compliant and designed with privacy by default. DNS data is processed and stored in EU-based, ISO-certified data centers, and only anonymized telemetry is used for threat detection. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or shared with third parties.

Unlike legacy or cloud-only solutions, Whalebone Aura offers telco-grade DNS security with fast local resolution, privacy compliance, and flexible deployment options. It requires no deep packet inspection, ensuring full user privacy, and delivers intuitive threat-intelligence dashboards and API-based integrations optimized for telecom environments.

This combination provides both superior end-user experience and simplified operational management.

Whalebone Aura is designed for fast, seven-week deployment with minimal network changes and no customer-side installation. Operators can choose from cloud, hybrid, or on-prem resolvers to match performance, compliance, and operational needs. Integration uses standard DNS forwarding or BGP routing, with rollout completed smoothly and without service disruption. This streamlined process enables telcos to deliver secure connectivity quickly and reliably.

Yes. Whalebone Aura fully supports DNSSEC validation, DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) to ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and protection against cache poisoning. These standards strengthen trust in the operator’s network and align with regulatory and privacy requirements for secure DNS operations.

Whalebone provides carrier-grade SLAs, 24/7 technical support, and proactive threat-intelligence updates. Dedicated onboarding and success teams assist operators with deployment, training, and education.

These services ensure consistent protection quality, uptime, and smooth integration into the operator’s ecosystem.
