Integration Update: Webroot DNS Protection

Written by Susan Perez | August 15, 2018

We’d like to quickly let you know of an update we’ve made to our Webroot integration.


If you’re using Webroot, we presume that you’re serious about data protection and cybersecurity. By integrating Webroot and BrightGauge, you’re able to manage and monitor devices that need attention, infection status, shield status, sites, and more.


With our latest update, the level of protection you experience through proactive monitoring is taken one step further.


Webroot DNS Protection


Webroot recently introduced DNS Protection, and we’re now sharing KPIs for that functionality. A lot of you have requested this, so we’re happy to now offer it.


With Webroot DNS Protection, you can monitor and report on blocked sites, see who was trying to access them, and get a summary of DNS traffic including risky and blocked traffic.


This opens up an opportunity for you to offer your clients better services and show how you’re being proactive in preventing incidents from happening.


BrightGauge KPIs for Webroot DNS Protection


We’ve launched two datasets, from which multiple KPIs are available as default gauges. To make it easy for you to start monitoring this data, we’ve pre-built two dashboards that bring these KPIs together:


  • DNS Protection Blocked Traffic  - This dashboard allows you to see blocked requests by category, domain, and hostname for the last 30 days.  


  • DNSP Traffic Last 24 Hours - On this dashboard, a number of gauges show you total blocked and total risky requests in the last 24 hours, blocked and risky requests by site, and the percentage of risky and blocked requests by site.




If you use Webroot DNS Protection already, then you should have access to these datasets and KPIs. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team!
