Protective Domain Name System (DNS).: D97-1/40-019-2022E-PDF

"DNS is a protocol that translates user-friendly web addresses, such as “cyber.gc.ca”, into machine-readable IP addresses. It is often referred to as the address book for the Internet. DNS is used for both human-initiated actions (e.g. visiting a website) and machine-initiated actions (e.g. running an update). This translation process is called DNS resolution. DNS queries are required for almost everything your organization does with network applications and online activity. Protective DNS can benefit you as an individual public user or as an organization"--What is DNS? Page [1].
