Open service generates free report detailing potential gaps in compliance, configuration and security for a user’s multiple domain names
Neustar Security Services, a leading provider of cloud-oriented security services that enable global businesses to thrive online, has launched an open and abridged version of its UltraDNS Health. Until now, UltraDNS Health Check had been reserved for customers subscribing to the company’s UltraDNS line of products, which delivers an enterprise-grade, cloud-based authoritative DNS service to securely deliver fast and accurate query responses to websites and vital online assets. Making this public-facing version of UltraDNS Health Check generally available enables any organization to leverage a powerful tool in assessing the hygiene of their domains and keep them safe, secure, optimized and in compliance.

The external UltraDNS Health Check site was designed with hundreds of industry standards and best practices in mind to help identify potential configuration and security issues. It runs more than 20 validations, enabling users to ensure that their domains are RFC-compliant and adhere to best practices. On-demand checks include those for Domains to validate core configurations for appropriate routing and security as well as Name Servers (NS) to flag misconfigurations that could impact security, performance, or query resolution. Additional checks are run for mail exchanges (MX), start of authority (SOA) and DNS Security (DNSSEC).

The reports offer immediate results and standards-based recommendations on the state of various zones, providing feedback on whether zones are in good standing, in error, may have an issue or do not conform to best practices. The site is free to use regardless of who your DNS providers are.
