ThreatDNS • Authoritative DNS

Authoritative DNS built for security teams.

Manage zones, records, and API access from a single hardened control panel. Full PowerDNS integration, scoped API keys, and a tamper-evident audit log — every change traced, every request accountable.

PowerDNS-backed Scoped API keys Tamper-evident log DNSSEC-ready
Best fit for
  • Security teams managing DNS across multiple zones

  • Organizations requiring compliance-grade audit logs
  • Teams automating DNS via CI/CD or IaC pipelines
  • Environments that need DNSSEC without manual key management
Backend PowerDNS Native Full PowerDNS authoritative backend. Deploy on-prem or cloud with your existing nameserver infrastructure.
Access Scoped API Keys Per-zone or global keys with read, write, or admin permissions. Rotate and revoke instantly.
Compliance Tamper-Evident Log Chained audit log of every zone and record change — suitable as compliance evidence.
Security DNSSEC Managed Per-zone DNSSEC signing with automated KSK/ZSK rotation. No manual key management required.
Control Panel

One interface for everything DNS.

Manage zones, records, API keys, DNSSEC, and audit history from a single hardened control panel — purpose-built for security operations, not general IT.

Core Features

Everything DNS needs. Nothing it doesn't.

ThreatDNS strips away the noise and gives security teams the exact controls they need — without the sprawl of general-purpose DNS platforms.

Zones & Records

Full Zone Management

Create, edit, and delete DNS zones and records from one interface. Supports all standard record types — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, and more. Bulk import via AXFR or bind-format zone files.

API Access

Scoped API Keys

Issue API keys with fine-grained permissions: read-only, zone-specific write, or full admin. Rotate and revoke instantly. Keys carry owner metadata and last-used timestamps for full attribution.

Compliance

Tamper-Evident Audit Log

Every zone change, record edit, and key action is logged with a chained hash — making the log tamper-evident and suitable as supporting evidence in compliance audits and incident investigations.

Security

DNSSEC Signing

Enable DNSSEC per zone with a single toggle. ThreatDNS manages KSK/ZSK rotation, DS record generation, and re-signing automatically — signing failures trigger immediate alerts.

Visibility

Real-Time Change Feed

Subscribe to a live event stream for zone mutations. Feed into SIEMs, alerting pipelines, or TLINK PRO's monitoring layer for instant visibility on DNS changes across your environment.

Multi-Tenant

Isolated Zone Delegation

Delegate zone management to sub-accounts with isolated permissions. Ideal for MSSPs managing DNS across multiple clients from one platform without cross-tenant visibility.

Security Model

Hardened from the ground up.

ThreatDNS is designed around the assumption that DNS is a high-value target. Every layer — access, logging, and the control plane itself — is built with compromise in mind.

Tamper-Evident Log Chain

Each audit entry is cryptographically chained to the previous, making retroactive modification detectable. Suitable as supporting evidence in compliance audits and incident investigations.

Least-Privilege API Keys

Keys are scoped to the minimum required access at issuance. Zone-isolated keys cannot be elevated at runtime — escalation requires explicit re-issuance through the control panel or admin API.

Hardened Control Plane

The management API runs isolated from the DNS resolution path. A compromised API key cannot influence resolution until zone changes propagate — giving teams a detection window before impact.

Rate Limiting & Abuse Controls

Per-key and per-IP rate limits on the management API. Automated alerts on anomalous mutation rates — catch credential misuse before it becomes a DNS hijack.

SOC Team Visibility

ThreatGrid's analyst team can be granted read-only visibility into zone state and audit logs as part of a managed engagement — no standing admin access required.

DNSSEC Chain of Trust

Full DNSSEC signing with automated key rollover. DS records surfaced directly in the control panel for clean delegation setup. Signing failures trigger immediate alerts.

Integrations

Built on PowerDNS. Wired into your stack.
