KISA Selects Nominum for Intelligent DNS and Malicious Domain Redirection

Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) has selected Nominum (News - Alert) for intelligent DNS and malicious domain redirection.

KISA, established in 2009, is a public corporation dedicated to ensuring a high-quality and safe Internet framework for Korea by working with the government to develop Internet-related policy, protect national Internet-infrastructure, and promote Internet usage.

Thanks to the  partnership, KISA will have access to Nominum’s Vantio Intelligent DNS system and Vantio MDR (Malicious Domain Redirection) policy module for a variety of security offerings including DNSSEC validation.

"KISA continues to play a critical role in ensuring the security of the Internet in Korea and protecting the safety of Internet users throughout the country. We are proud to be a part of that process and to work with such a respected partner,” said Pete Wisowaty, executive vice president of worldwide sales at Nominum, in a statement.

“We are looking forward to our continued relationship in this growing market," said Wisowaty.

Nominum's Intelligent DNS systems improve IP networks of all sizes globally, ensuring people always have a safe, secure and enjoyable Internet experience. Nominum in-network software solutions and SKYE hosted services form the foundation of the always-on Internet, protecting networks and the families and businesses that use them, and providing superior performance and reliability.

Nominum software and SKYE services now support more than 500 million fixed and mobile broadband users as well as enterprises, universities, and government agencies in every region.

TMCnet in April reported that Nominum’s Vantio Intelligent DNS System has been selected by Cablevisión Argentina to provide caching DNS services and SKYE Network Protection Service (NPS).

These services will help Cablevisión Argentina to reduce the incidence of bot and other malicious network traffic throughout its broadband network. Cablevision Argentina was worried about the bots, which was steady drain on its network resources, consuming on average 10-25 percent of a service provider's traffic depending on the geographic region.
