As organizations increasingly seek built-in cybersecurity capabilities, DNSFilter has introduced a new Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) program that allows internet service providers, cybersecurity vendors, device manufacturers, and application developers to integrate enterprise-grade DNS security directly into their own products. The initiative expands access to DNSFilter's AI-powered threat protection while reducing development complexity for partners.
DNSFilter has announced a new OEM program designed to help ISPs, managed security service providers (MSSPs), cybersecurity companies, device manufacturers, and consumer application developers embed AI-powered DNS protection into their own platforms.
Partners can choose between DNSFilter Protective DNS, which delivers DNS-layer threat detection and content filtering, Guardian Firewall and VPN services for encrypted device traffic and privacy protection, or deploy both as a combined solution.
The company also offers three commercial deployment options, including reseller and bundled offerings, embedded headless integrations, and white-label co-branded implementations for service providers.
"ISPs, device makers, and security vendors have been quietly looking for a DNS protection layer they can trust and build on. We are opening up the same global network that already blocks threats for over 60 million users every day, backed by threat intelligence that catches attacks up to ten days before anyone else. Partners do not have to build any of it, they plug into infrastructure proven at a scale most companies will never touch and ship protection from day one,” said Ken Carnesi, CEO and Co-Founder of DNSFilter.
According to DNSFilter, its Guardian Firewall and VPN technology already operates at consumer scale by supporting Amazon's eero home and small business networking platform. Existing OEM deployments currently serve more than 65 million users each day.
The company's infrastructure processes approximately 200 billion DNS queries daily across a dual anycast network spanning more than 225 servers in over 85 countries. DNSFilter also reports blocking over 235 million cyber threats every day while scanning approximately 2 million domains per second to protect more than 45,000 organizations globally.
With the OEM program, partners can leverage this existing infrastructure rather than developing and maintaining their own DNS security platforms.
To simplify adoption, DNSFilter has introduced a dedicated Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows developers to test and integrate the platform before entering a formal OEM partnership.
The SDK provides access to a sandbox environment where developers can configure security policies and validate DNS threat blocking within minutes. It currently supports iOS, macOS, tvOS, Android, FireOS, and Windows, and is already deployed across more than 2 million devices.
"Partners told us the fastest way to earn their trust was to put the platform in their developers' hands and get out of the way. That insight drove everything about how we created our OEM program. When a developer can spin up a sandbox, write a policy, and see a real threat blocked, that's when trust moves from the sales team to the engineering team," said Kate Trojanowski, VP of Product and Engineering, DNSFilter. “The OEM program now formalizes that path for the next wave of partners."
Industry demand for embedded cybersecurity capabilities continues to grow as organizations seek security solutions that integrate directly into products and services rather than relying solely on standalone applications.
DNSFilter believes providing partners with production-ready infrastructure allows them to accelerate product development while delivering enterprise-grade protection from launch.
"The window to get ahead on embedded DNS protection is now and the organizations moving early will have a real advantage as built-in security becomes the expectation. DNSFilter has proven this model at scale across thousands of organizations. This program gives partners the infrastructure and support to grow with it,” said Warren Small, Founder and CEO, Castle Ventures.
The OEM and Embedded Partner Program is now publicly available, enabling organizations to explore integration options and request SDK access for product development.
