Introduction
See It Blocked, See It Caught with DNSFilter & Blumira is a cybersecurity webinar scheduled for July 2026 that examines how organisations can integrate DNS filtering with extended detection and response capabilities. The session targets IT and security professionals responsible for protecting small to mid-sized organisations, particularly those operating without round-the-clock security operations centre coverage. As threat actors increasingly exploit DNS infrastructure to establish command-and-control channels, exfiltrate data, and distribute malware, the ability to correlate DNS-layer prevention with broader detection workflows has become operationally significant. This webinar addresses the practical challenge of maintaining comprehensive security visibility when resources and personnel are constrained.
About This Event
This virtual session brings together DNSFilter and Blumira to demonstrate their integration capabilities through Blumira’s HTTP Ingest feature. The webinar format combines threat landscape analysis with product demonstration, showing how DNS telemetry can feed into a broader security detection framework. Speakers will draw on data from both platforms to illustrate current attack patterns and explain how the integration enables organisations to connect prevention activities at the DNS layer with detection and response workflows downstream.
The session is structured to address both strategic and tactical concerns. Attendees will gain insight into why DNS represents a valuable early warning system for security teams, alongside practical guidance on implementing the integration within their existing environments.
DNS Security as an Early Detection Layer
DNS queries occur at the earliest stages of most network communications, making DNS telemetry a valuable source of threat intelligence. When a user or system attempts to reach a malicious domain, the DNS request typically precedes any payload delivery or data exfiltration. This timing advantage means that DNS-layer security tools can block threats before they establish a foothold, while simultaneously generating telemetry that informs broader detection efforts.
The webinar will explore how DNSFilter’s protective DNS capabilities generate security-relevant data that, when ingested into Blumira’s detection platform, creates a more complete picture of organisational risk. Rather than treating DNS filtering as an isolated control, the integration positions it as a contributing data source within a unified security operations workflow.
Dynamic Threat Intelligence Versus Static Blocklists
A central theme of the session concerns the limitations of static blocklists in contemporary threat environments. Traditional approaches to DNS filtering relied on curated lists of known malicious domains, updated periodically and applied uniformly across protected networks. While this method remains useful for blocking established threats, it struggles against the velocity of modern attack infrastructure.
Threat actors routinely register new domains, compromise legitimate infrastructure, and rotate their command-and-control endpoints faster than static lists can be updated. The webinar will examine how dynamic threat intelligence—continuously updated based on observed attack patterns and behavioural analysis—provides more effective protection against these rapidly evolving threats. This distinction carries particular relevance for organisations that cannot dedicate resources to manually curating and updating their own blocklists.
Integrating Prevention and Detection for Resource-Constrained Teams
Many small to mid-sized organisations face a fundamental tension in their security programmes. They require comprehensive threat visibility and response capabilities, yet lack the budget and personnel to staff a traditional security operations centre. This operational reality shapes the webinar’s core value proposition: demonstrating how integration between specialised tools can deliver meaningful security outcomes without proportional increases in staffing requirements.
Blumira’s HTTP Ingest feature enables organisations to feed DNSFilter telemetry directly into their detection platform, where it can be correlated with data from other sources including endpoints, cloud services, and network infrastructure. This consolidation reduces the operational burden of monitoring multiple disconnected consoles while ensuring that DNS-layer events inform the broader detection and response process.
For managed service providers supporting multiple client environments, this integration model offers a scalable approach to delivering security services. The ability to unify DNS protection with detection and response capabilities across a client portfolio addresses both operational efficiency and service differentiation concerns.
The 2026 Threat Landscape
The webinar will present threat landscape analysis drawing on data from both DNSFilter and Blumira. This combined perspective offers insight into how DNS-based threats manifest in practice and how they connect to broader attack chains. Understanding these patterns helps security teams prioritise their defensive investments and tune their detection logic to address the most relevant risks.
DNS-based attacks continue to evolve in sophistication. Techniques such as DNS tunnelling for data exfiltration, domain generation algorithms for resilient command-and-control infrastructure, and DNS rebinding attacks against internal resources all exploit the fundamental role that DNS plays in network communications. Organisations that lack visibility into their DNS traffic may miss early indicators of compromise that would otherwise enable faster response.
Who Should Attend
The session is designed for security analysts, IT managers, and security leaders responsible for protecting organisations with limited security operations resources. Those evaluating DNS security solutions or seeking to improve their detection and response capabilities through better tool integration will find the content directly applicable. The webinar also addresses the needs of managed service providers looking to enhance their security service offerings through integrated tooling.
Attendees should have foundational familiarity with DNS concepts and security operations workflows, though the session will explain technical integration details in accessible terms. The content balances strategic context with practical implementation guidance, making it relevant for both decision-makers evaluating solutions and practitioners responsible for deployment and operation.
Connecting Security Workflows
The broader significance of this webinar lies in its illustration of how modern security architectures benefit from integration between specialised tools. Rather than deploying isolated point solutions that generate disconnected alerts, organisations increasingly seek platforms that share telemetry and enable coordinated response. DNS filtering, endpoint detection, cloud security monitoring, and SIEM capabilities each address distinct aspects of the threat landscape, but their value multiplies when they operate as components of a unified workflow.
For organisations navigating this integration challenge with constrained resources, the DNSFilter and Blumira partnership represents one model for achieving comprehensive coverage without proportional complexity. The webinar offers an opportunity to evaluate this approach against specific organisational requirements and security programme maturity.
