Continuous DNS Attack Surface Management.
Transform your DNS from a blind spot into a governed security domain. Gain continuous visibility into every record across your domain portfolio. Identify exposed services, dangling subdomains, and high-risk misconfigurations before they become reportable incidents.
Book a DemoHow It Works
Connect your DNS providers to continuously scan every zone for exposed ports, invalid records, and dangling subdomains. Investigate findings, remediate instantly, and monitor daily with real-time or scheduled alerts.
Integrate
Add all your DNS providers. dnswatchdog crawls every record in every zone performing portscans, certificate analysis, validates TXT records, and takes screenshots.
Investigate
Review issues found. Browse screenshots to check for unexpected content being served, ports that shouldn't be open, and invalid records. Use notes to track and share findings.
Remediate
Delete dangling subdomains and inactivate IPs. If you find a record shouldn't have been deleted, restore it immediately with a single click.
Monitor
Daily scans highlight new issues or automatically close existing ones. Get notified of detected changes via Slack, Teams, Email or webhook immediately, or via a daily or weekly rollup.
Features
