DNS abuse is often the first observable step in a real compromise. Cantina is launching DNS Monitoring for free, with free scans so teams can establish a baseline, catch high-confidence signal early, and tighten security posture before user impact.
DNS is a leading indicator
Many compromises don’t begin with an exploit. They begin with controlling what users resolve.
If attackers can influence resolution, they can redirect trust at scale: phishing pages, front-end clones, credential capture, and downstream compromise. By the time most teams notice, users have already interacted with the wrong surface.
That’s why DNS is a high-leverage detection layer: it’s often where the earliest observable signal shows up.
Why a baseline scan matters
Most teams don’t have a clean, current picture of their domain surface area and DNS posture. Without a baseline, it’s hard to answer the only question that matters during an event:
“Is this normal, or is this an incident?”
The first scan establishes that baseline so you can move faster when signal appears.
Free access, with white-glove onboarding
DNS Monitoring is free, and we’re onboarding the first teams hands-on to make sure you’re operational immediately.
For early users, we provide white-glove onboarding that includes:
- a live demo to showcase what the tool surfaces and how to interpret results
- Configuring the setup for automated alerts during an onboarding call
This keeps the experience high-signal from the start and removes friction for busy security and infra teams.
Signal is step one. Response is execution.
A scan can surface high-confidence indicators worth immediate investigation. It won’t coordinate the operational work when risk becomes real.
That’s where Managed Detection & Response fits:
- validate and triage quickly
- map impact and prioritize actions
- contain and recover under time pressure
- harden so the same class of issue doesn’t repeat
