What is QUAD9?

Security, privacy, and performance drove the entities to develop the Quad9 DNS service.

Cybercriminals have manipulated the underpinnings of the Internet for years. It is easy for scammers to trick users by creating websites that appear to be legitimate, familiar company websites, but they are not because they have a different IP address – something that users would find very hard to confirm.

Consumers and small businesses need a way to protect themselves that is effective, easy to configure, reliable, affordable, and protects their privacy.

GCA collaborated with IBM and Packet Clearing House (PCH) to solve this problem. Both IBM and PCH share GCA’s goal to keep as many people on the Internet as safe as possible against malicious websites, phishing sites, or other malicious activity.


PROTECTING AND LEVERAGING

Quad9 protects users from accessing known malicious websites, leveraging threat intelligence from multiple industry leaders and currently blocks an average of more than 670 million threats per day, with resolvers in more than 130 countries. It improves your system’s performance, plus it preserves and protects your privacy. You can quickly and easily set up the Quad9 service on your Mac, PC, or Android device. Do it today!

Measuring the Economic Value of DNS Security

The Global Cyber Alliance has conducted research that shows that DNS firewalls could have mitigated one-third of the cyber incidents we studied. It could have prevented an estimated $10 billion in losses in those incidents. We’ve provided full documentation of this research and analysis in our Economic Value report.
