Initial Post:

The successful vendor will provide DNS resolver services that will enable the Department of Defense to detect, mitigate, and evolve with threats and provide users the best, first line of defense. The Department’s need for real-time DNS protection based on up-to-the-minute intelligence increased with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This effort will expand a pilot prototype that demonstrated the efficacy of a cloud-based, commercially-provided DNS resolver service for the Defense Information Network (DoDIN). Seeking a modern approach, the DoD can leverage the threat intelligence curated and maintained by leading cyber security companies and stores logs in a secure, yet accessible data lake for analysis.
