DNS SECURITY DOCUMENTATION

Comprehensive DNS Security Checks, Vulnerabilities, and Best Practices

DOMops is an AI-enabled DNS threat intelligence platform combining structural DNS analysis, reputation telemetry, dependency CVE correlation, and operational remediation workflows. The platform uses public unauthenticated DNS data for remote analysis without requiring agents or privileged access to internal systems.

How It Works

Domain Input

Add a domain and run real-time DNS exposure analysis from public authoritative data.

Comprehensive Record Analysis

Queries A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and uncommon record types for full visibility.

Threat Intelligence Correlation

Correlates DNS infrastructure with reputation and known malicious hosting signals.

Modern Security Pattern Detection

Detects AI infrastructure exposure, TXT payload abuse, takeover paths, amplification risk, and cryptographic weakness.

Advanced Vulnerability Testing

Validates resolver consistency, DNSSEC integrity, DNS rebinding guardrails, and edge-case protocol behavior.

Severity Scoring + Remediation

Findings are scored (critical, warning, info) with remediation playbooks and API-ready structured evidence.

Security Score Calculation

Score is severity-weighted. Critical findings reduce score more than warnings. A score of 100 indicates no material DNS or dependency risks were detected during the scan window.

Structured Data for Automated Workflows

Every API response is machine-readable JSON with prioritized findings, severity levels, and raw DNS evidence for SIEM, SOAR, ticketing, and vulnerability management pipelines.

The Platform

DOMops was founded in 2026 by Adesh Kolte and built to make DNS exposure analysis practical, accessible, and operationally useful at scale. The platform focus is signal quality: prioritize actionable findings, map them to concrete remediation playbooks, and keep response teams focused on measurable risk reduction.

Uncover DNS risk before attackers exploit it. Request early access and we will tailor rollout guidance to your use case.
