Case study
Zero Trust Architecture in Creative Dock
Creative Dock needed to ensure ISO 27001 compliance, but they
struggled to achieve the required level of security and control over their network and
user devices (BYOD) with their prior remote-access solution.
Without any additional hardware, GoodAccess provided Creative Dock with full,
centralized control over their infrastructure and
covered up to 70% of technical security requirements of ISO 27001.

DNS FILTERING guide
Complete guide to DNS filtering in GoodAccess
GoodAccess runs its own DNS infrastructure that handles all DNS resolutions for every connected client. It incorporates a DNS filter called Threat Blocker, which is offered as part of a larger security package called Secure Shield.
The GoodAccess Threat Blocker combines open-source and commercial lists of malicious domains
(malware, ransomware, phishing, botnet C&C, spammers), and checks every DNS request
against these lists. When a match is found, Threat Blocker redirects the user to a safe
website that informs them that an attempt to access a malicious domain was blocked.
Our lists contain around 5 million domains and are updated every 6 hours.
