threatER is a preemptive cybersecurity company that blocks untrusted network traffic and malicious domains before they reach a security stack. Its idea is to shrink the problem earlier: rather than waiting to detect and respond to threats that have already entered the network, threatER denies known-bad and untrusted connections at the edge, so the tools and people behind it see cleaner, higher-signal traffic. It aggregates threat intelligence from government, open-source, private and industry feeds and enforces against known threat actors with no added latency, and its EnforceDNS product blocks malicious and suspicious domains at the DNS layer. The company reports that filtering removes 30 to 50 percent of known-bad traffic before it hits the rest of the stack. It deploys without agents across cloud, on-premises, Wi-Fi and remote environments. For a buyer, threatER is a layer that stops a large share of bad traffic up front so the rest of the security stack works on what matters.
Best for
- Security teams overwhelmed by alert volume that want to cut known-bad traffic before it reaches their tools.
- Organizations that want to enforce threat intelligence at the network layer without adding staff.
- Companies looking for protective DNS to block ransomware, phishing and command-and-control domains.
- Businesses with cloud, on-premises, Wi-Fi and remote environments that need consistent enforcement across all of them.
An organization with no existing security stack to protect, or one that wants a single all-in-one managed security service, is a different kind of buyer than threatER's preemptive-enforcement layer.
What they offer
Managed Security. Preemptive enforcement that automatically denies untrusted connections at the edge and passes only verified traffic to the rest of the security stack, drawing on aggregated threat intelligence from government, open-source, private and industry feeds. EnforceDNS adds protective DNS that evaluates outbound DNS requests against many refined rules to block malicious and suspicious domains, with content filtering to set acceptable-use policies. Deployment is agent-free and scales from a handful of endpoints to tens of thousands.

Proof
A regional law firm handling sensitive corporate client data deployed threatER's enforcement to aggregate threat intelligence at the network layer, and reported reducing the traffic hitting its security stack by 30 to 50 percent while expanding protection without adding security staff.
A private university used threatER to secure a campus network whose daily Wi-Fi traffic had grown from about 7 terabytes to 24 terabytes over 24 hours, keeping it protected with an eight-person IT team.
Good to know
- threatER is a preemptive layer that works alongside your existing security tools, not a replacement for them. It aims to make the rest of your stack more effective, so plan it as an addition.
- The reduction figures come from threatER's own material and describe general results. Treat them as examples, not a guarantee for your environment.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
