DnsThreatProtectionRuleTypeConfig

The configuration for a DNS threat protection rule type within the rule type framework.

Contents

ConfidenceThreshold

The confidence threshold for DNS Firewall Advanced. You must provide this value when you create or update a DNS Firewall Advanced rule. The confidence level values mean:

  • LOW: Provides the highest detection rate for threats, but also increases false positives.

  • MEDIUM: Provides a balance between detecting threats and false positives.

  • HIGH: Detects only the most well corroborated threats with a low rate of false positives.

Type: String

Valid Values: LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH

Required: Yes

Value

The type of DNS threat protection. Valid values are:

  • DGA: Domain generation algorithms detection. DGAs are used by attackers to generate a large number of domains to launch malware attacks.

  • DNS_TUNNELING: DNS tunneling detection. DNS tunneling is used by attackers to exfiltrate data from the client by using the DNS tunnel without making a network connection to the client.

  • DICT_DGA: Dictionary-based domain generation algorithms detection. Dictionary DGAs use wordlists to generate domains that appear more legitimate, making them harder to detect than traditional DGAs.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Required: Yes
