According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global DNS Detect and Respond market size was valued at US$ 1859 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4036 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 11.8% during review period.
DNS Detect and Respond (DNSDR) is a cybersecurity capability that uses Domain Name System (DNS) traffic as an early detection and control point to identify, block, and respond to malicious or abnormal activity across enterprise networks, cloud environments, and endpoints.
Gross Margin Level
From a profit structure perspective, DNSDR is a typical cloud-delivered security subscription: core costs consist of global recursive DNS/edge node bandwidth and computing power, threat intelligence subscriptions, log storage and retrieval, and customer success/managed operations. Due to the high reusability of software and policy orchestration, pure SaaS/platform-based DNSDR typically has high gross margin elasticity; however, when the product is packaged into an SSE/SASE suite or delivered via MSSP managed service, channel discounts and manpower delivery will lower the overall gross margin. The industry as a whole often exhibits a "tiered gross margin" structure: platform-based 75%–88%, suite/channel-based 65%–80%, and managed operations-based 40%–60%. After weighting, the overall gross margin of mainstream vendors often falls within the 65%–85% range (depending on whether it heavily includes managed services and log retention costs).
Industry Drivers
The core demand drivers stem from the combined effects of "DNS becoming the earliest signal in the attack chain" and "the normalization of zero-trust outbound control." Attackers commonly rely on domain name resolution to complete phishing attacks, C2 communication, infrastructure setup, and data leaks. DNSDR can intercept or provide high-value clues before connections are established (such as blocking malicious domain name requests, detecting and alerting on DNS tunnels/abnormal resolutions), significantly shortening the discovery and handling chain of SecOps. Simultaneously, hybrid offices and branch office expansion make enterprises more inclined to adopt a unified strategy of cloud-based recursive DNS/cloud gateways; cloud vendors are also providing native DNS firewalls and threat detectors at the VPC layer, pushing "DNS layer security" from an optional enhancement to a fundamental control plane. At the level of real-world threats, frequent exposure of DNS-related malicious activities and attacks is also continuously strengthening budget allocations and compliance requirements.
