Data shows one in every 174 requests is malicious, up from one in every 1,000 in the previous report
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DNSFilter announced today the release of its 2025 Annual Security Report, showcasing an uptick in malicious requests from 2023 to 2024. At internet scale, threats are relentless, but so is the right combination of intel and security strategy. Each malicious request blocked represents a real attack prevented, real harm avoided and real people and organizations protected.
The DNSFilter network processes about 170 billion DNS queries daily, 200 million of which are categorized as threats and blocked. These numbers represent phishing campaigns that never reached their targets, ransomware that never infiltrated networks and malware that never had the chance to spread.
Key findings from the report include:
Ken Carnesi, CEO and co-founder, DNSFilter, said: “Even as the threat landscape changes, our mission remains the same: to defend organizations and people from the worst of the internet. The data from our report makes it clear that DNS continues to be a critical threat gateway. It’s also a reminder of the crucial role DNSFilter fills as a frontline defender on the DNS layer. We’ll continue to improve, innovate and stand in the gap between our customers and the real-world harm bad actors are trying to cause.”
