How it works

01

Ingestion

DNS logs stream into Apache Kafka for high-volume, real-time processing.

02

Enrichment

GeoIP and WHOIS lookups add context to DNS query data.

03

Intelligence

Threat feeds flag known malicious domains against incoming traffic.

04

Detection

Dual-layer anomaly analysis identifies both sudden spikes and slow, stealthy DNS tunnels.

05

Alerting

Near-instant alerts reach security teams for emerging DNS-based threats.

06

Visualization

Interactive dashboards present findings for incident response and threat sharing.

Outcome

A microservices architecture lets each stage scale independently, with in-memory caching for immediate analysis and persistent storage for historical pattern detection across longer time windows.
