Protecting IoT

the Internet of Things

DNS-Layer Security for the Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Devices. Smarter Protection.

As the number of connected devices continues to explode, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become both a catalyst for innovation—and a growing security risk. From smart thermostats and industrial sensors to medical equipment and point-of-sale systems, IoT devices often lack built-in security, making them prime targets for malware, botnets, DNS tunneling, and command-and-control attacks.

Secure64 LineGuard delivers powerful, DNS-layer protection tailored specifically for the unique needs of IoT environments—ensuring these always-on devices stay secure, controlled, and compliant.

Why IoT Devices Are Vulnerable

IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats because many cannot support traditional endpoint security solutions and often rely on unmonitored outbound DNS connections. This makes them easy targets for botnets, ransomware, data exfiltration, and command-and-control (C2) attacks. Additionally, IoT devices frequently operate across unsecured remote or hybrid networks, further increasing their exposure to malicious activity.

How LineGuard Secures IoT Environments

  • Blocks Threats at the DNS Layer
    • Stops malware, phishing, DNS tunneling, C2 callbacks, and botnet activity before it reaches your IoT devices.
  • Protects All Device Types
    • From low-powered sensors to complex industrial controls—LineGuard secures any connected device without requiring local agents or software installs.
  • Works Across Environments
    • Ensures consistent policy enforcement across corporate networks, branch offices, manufacturing sites, and remote facilities.
  • Filters Risky Content and Applications
    • Uses AI-powered categorization to block inappropriate domains and unauthorized app connections, including banned AI tools and known surveillance threats.
  • Supports Zero Trust Architecture
    • Treats IoT DNS traffic as untrusted by default—aligning with modern security frameworks.
  • 24×7 Global Engineering Support
    • With decades of DNS expertise, our qualified engineers are available around the clock to support critical environments.

Powerful, Lightweight, Scalable

Secure64 LineGuard applies DNS-based policies based on EDNS client subnet data and source IP, allowing precise segmentation and enforcement for IoT networks—without the need for new hardware or complex routing. Whether you manage thousands or millions of devices, LineGuard scales effortlessly with built-in high availability and geographic redundancy.

Ideal for:

  • Smart Cities & Infrastructure
  • Healthcare IoT & Medical Devices
  • Industrial IoT (IIoT) / Manufacturing
  • Retail & Point-of-Sale Systems
  • Remote Monitoring & SCADA Networks
  • Smart Home & Residential ISPs
