Centralised Protection for Government & Public Institutions
The commercial solution resulting from the European Commission’s DNS4EU initiative – Whalebone DNS4GOV – is designed to implement large-scale, centralised DNS-level cybersecurity for government and public institutions, including ministries, local governments, municipalities, healthcare, and educational sectors.
The DNS4GOV product is fully operational and ready for immediate deployment.
DNS4EU for Governments (DNS4GOV) is a government-oriented initiative to implement large-scale centralised protection for governments or public institutions and their employees.
Implementing DNS4EU safeguarding initiatives via Whalebone DNS4GOV allows governments to protect critical infrastructure – without added hardware or additional IT resources. Deployment takes just hours, and institutions benefit from EU-based threat intelligence to ensure fast, unified protection across the public sector.
Key Benefits
- Centralised Protection – Offers a unified security layer for all public institutions, to increase transparency and reduce the burden on local IT teams and budgets.
- Rapid Deployment – Institutions can be protected in under 2 hours without the need for special hardware or extensive IT resources.
- Comprehensive Coverage – Protects various government entities, including hospitals, schools, offices, and courts, against threats like phishing, malware, and ransomware.
- Real-Time Threat Intelligence – Leverages a shared threat intelligence network with cybersecurity vendors, universities, research institutions, CERTs, CSIRTs, and NCSCs, enabling swift responses to emerging threats specific to particular countries and regions.
- Compliance and Sovereignty – Ensures data privacy and compliance with regulations, keeping DNS resolution within the required digital space (e.g. EU data must stay within the EU).
Why Centralised Protection Matters
Centralised DNS protection is crucial for a government's cybersecurity strategy. It not only safeguards sensitive data and critical infrastructure but also helps maintain public trust and ensures the uninterrupted delivery of essential services. By blocking access to malicious domains, it prevents cybercriminals from infiltrating government networks.
Implementation Made Easy
DNS4GOV can be deployed either in the cloud for ease of implementation or on-premises for deeper network insight. Even the on-premise version requires no special hardware and can typically be set up in under 2 hours. The deployment process is streamlined, allowing national cybersecurity authorities to enable any institution to join without managing individual projects.
