# Get protected in hours, not months

DNS4GOV protects European critical infrastructure at the resolution layer, from national authorities and municipalities to hospitals, schools and the public services a country runs on.

## We have you covered

Most security controls need hardware, agents and a budget cycle. Protective DNS needs a change to your resolver settings. That is the whole rollout.

![](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/img/icon-time.svg)

A few hours

### From decision to deployment

Nothing to install and no agent to roll out. You point your resolvers and every device on the network is covered from that moment.

1,400+

### Phishing requests blocked

At University Hospital Olomouc, during the proof of concept, on a network that was already behind a firewall and endpoint protection.

![](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/img/icon-budget.svg)

Up to 40% off

### For qualifying public institutions

No appliance to buy, rack or maintain, so the cost is the service and nothing else. Tell us what you run and we will come back with a price.

## The network in numbers

60M+

threats stopped every day across the network

3.3B

queries resolved every day on EU infrastructure

## Hospitals, schools and municipalities

The same resolver, three very different networks. Each one has its own reason for filtering at the resolver rather than on the device.

Hospitals

### Equipment that cannot run security software

Medical equipment often cannot take an agent at all. Filtering at the resolver covers it anyway, because nothing is installed on the device.

4,000 devicescovered at University Hospital Olomouc, including the endpoints that had been invisible at the DNS layer

[Read the Olomouc case study](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/docs/case-olomouc-university-hospital.pdf?hsLang=eu)

![](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/img/icon-school.svg)

Schools and universities

### Devices the IT team does not own

Every term brings thousands of personal devices onto the network. The resolver reaches all of them, and the same setting filters adult and unsafe content, so safeguarding and security are one system rather than two.

Under an hourfrom decision to a protected campus at the College of Polytechnics Jihlava, covering 2,000 students and around 250 staff

[Read the Jihlava case study](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/docs/case-jihlava-polytechnics.pdf?hsLang=eu)

Municipalities

### One small team, every service in town

No hardware to buy and no agent to roll out across departments. A team of one or two can switch it on and there is nothing left to maintain on the endpoints.

30 to 50%more threats captured than the firewall alone, across the street lighting, traffic signals and cameras run by Technology of the Capital City of Prague

## Case studies

Institutions already running it, in their own words.

- Healthcare
  
  ### University Hospital Olomouc
  
  A million outpatients a year
  
  One of the largest medical centres in the Czech Republic, serving over a million outpatients a year. A proof of concept on a few hundred computers was extended across the whole network, including the endpoints that had been invisible at the DNS layer.
  
  > The initial deployment took less than an hour, and expanding to all 4,000 endpoints was just as seamless.
  > 
  > Pavel Gartner, Cybersecurity Manager

- Municipality
  
  ### Nove Mesto na Morave
  
  Every institution in the town
  
  The municipal council, the elementary school, the library and social services protected together from one deployment, each with its own policy.
  
  > I can no longer imagine running a network without this level of security. My only regret is not having started to use it sooner.
  > 
  > Zbynek Grepl, Director of the Municipal IT Department

- Education
  
  ### Prague University of Economics and Business
  
  13,000+ students
  
  Six faculties and a network open to students in dormitories, guests and anyone on eduroam. The university cannot require software on those devices, so the protection had to sit on the resolver instead.
  
  [Read the case study](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/docs/case-prague-university-economics.pdf?hsLang=eu)
- Education
  
  ### College of Polytechnics Jihlava
  
  2,000 students, 250 staff
  
  2,000 students and around 250 staff across the school buildings and the dormitories. Set up in under an hour, covering devices the IT team does not manage.
  
  > What I appreciate most is the ability to verify security at the DNS level. It covers all network activity of both employees and students.
  > 
  > Martin Skoumal, Head of IT
  
  [Read the case study](https://joindns4.eu/hubfs/dns4eu/docs/case-jihlava-polytechnics.pdf?hsLang=eu)
- Municipal infrastructure
  
  ### Technology of the Capital City of Prague
  
  136,000 street lamps
  
  The city-owned company that runs Prague's 136,000 street lamps, its smart traffic lights and its camera system. One network, with filtering aligned to legislation and internal regulation rather than bolted on afterwards.
  
  > We use a firewall, but we have Whalebone. It captures 30 to 50% more threats.
  > 
  > Karel Vyhlidka, Security Analyst
