Cisco Security and Farsight Security

How Farsight Security and Cisco Security work together

Farsight provides threat intelligence on IPs and domains in Cisco SecureX.

Farsight Security DNSDB 2.0® is a DNS intelligence database that provides a unique, fact-based, multifaceted view of the configuration of the global Internet infrastructure. DNSDB leverages the richness of Farsight’s Security Information Exchange (SIE) data-sharing platform and is engineered and operated by leading DNS experts. Farsight collects Passive DNS data from its global sensor array. It then filters and verifies the DNS transactions before inserting them into the DNSDB, along with ICANN-sponsored zone file access download data. The end-result is the highest-quality and most comprehensive DNS intelligence service of its kind — with more than 100 billion domain resolution records and updated in real-time at over 200,000 times/second.
