IoT

The Internet of Things now accounts for an estimated 18 billion connected devices — sensors, IP cameras, industrial controllers, smart meters, and medical equipment — and is projected to exceed 40 billion by 2030. Most share a critical security gap: they cannot run endpoint agents, receive irregular firmware updates, and are rarely monitored with the same rigour as traditional IT assets. This makes them high-value, low-resistance targets and an increasingly exploited entry point into otherwise well-defended networks.

DNS is the one control that works universally across all of them. Every IoT device — regardless of manufacturer, OS, or protocol — must resolve domain names to communicate.

FlashStart intercepts those queries at the network level, blocking connections to malicious or unauthorized domains before any data is exchanged. No agents, no firmware changes, no per-device configuration — just uniform protection across your entire connected environment, enforced through a global Anycast network and continuously updated by AI-driven threat intelligence.
