What happened
DNSFilter introduced LUMINATE, a security platform that consolidates DNS protection, AI‑tool monitoring, and remote‑work safeguards into a single agent, console, and policy. The solution detects “shadow AI” usage by inspecting DNS queries, allowing organizations to enforce approved‑AI policies and surface unauthorized tools to SOC analysts. DNSFilter now serves more than 57 000 customers across multiple verticals, processing over 6 trillion DNS queries per month.
Why it matters for trust and compliance
- LUMINATE provides a concrete control for AI‑use governance, satisfying a single control objective that maps to many compliance frameworks such as NIST AI RMF.
- Map DNS‑layer AI usage policies to the AI governance control objective in your framework of record.
- Collect continuous DNS log evidence of unauthorized AI tool connections for audit readiness.
