- Quad9 DNS – Free, public and global DNS recently launched by IBM Security, PCH and GCA, to automatically protect businesses and consumers from malicious websites known to steal information, infect hardware or conduct fraudulent activity
- DNS Design – Quad9 provides protection without affecting speed and does not store or use any personally identifiable information (PII) from users, unlike currently available DNS services
- Organizations Involved – Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) started project by collaborating with Packet Clearing House (PCH) for network infrastructure and IBM Security for X-Force threat intelligence
- Expected Outcome – With Quad9 in home or business network at router or gateway level, users will have added level of protection for PCs, laptops, as well as, IoT devices that often do not receive important security updates or is difficult to secure with traditional security tools
