Cygna Labs Diamond IP DDI Security & Compliance delivers a centralized platform to secure, manage, and monitor DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) infrastructure. It integrates robust security controls, compliance features, and automation to protect against network threats, ensure regulatory alignment, and provide comprehensive IP resource visibility for enterprise environments.

Key Features

Comprehensive DDI Security Centralized protection for DNS, DHCP, and IPAM infrastructure.

• Hardened appliances and proprietary OS with non-modular kernel.
• Secure boot, minimal binaries, and jailed environments to mitigate attacks.
• DNS firewall with support for multiple response policy feeds, block/allow lists.

Advanced DNS Threat Protection Mitigates DNS-based attacks and data exfiltration.

• DNS tunneling detection with automated shutdown.
• Query/response rate limiting to defend against DDoS and amplification attacks.
• Transaction signatures, DNSSEC signing and validation.

Centralized Management & Automation Unified control and monitoring of DDI components.

• IPControl software or Sapphire Executive appliances for centralized configuration.
• Web-based GUI for managing DHCP, DNS, and IPAM attributes.
• Threshold-based alerts and automated actions for capacity issues.

Compliance & Auditing Supports regulatory and security frameworks (e.g., NIST, PCI DSS).

• Forensic transaction logging and trend reporting (Sapphire A30 IPAM Auditor).
• Centralized collection of logs, audit trails, and compliance checks.
• Automated patch and update distribution.

Resiliency and High Availability Ensures continuous network operations.

• Hardware clustering, split-scope, and DHCP failover deployments.
• Anycast support and SNMP monitoring for service resilience.
