Secure internet for business, managed from the network up
Your team clicks links, opens emails and connects to cloud apps all day. Synergy Secure Internet filters every one of those connections through DNS-layer security, blocking threats before they reach a single device. It’s network security as a service (NSaaS) built for small and medium businesses. We manage it, we monitor it and we deal with anything that comes up so you don’t have to.

DNS security for business: how it works
Every time someone in your organisation visits a website, opens a link or connects to an online service, a DNS request happens in the background. DNS is the system that translates a web address into the IP address your device needs to connect. It happens thousands of times a day across your network.
DNS security checks each of those requests against real-time threat intelligence before the connection goes through. If the destination is flagged as malicious, the connection is blocked. No page loads. No file downloads. No data leaves your network. Your team keeps working and doesn’t notice a thing.
Think of it as a security checkpoint between your business and the internet. It’s always on, it covers every device on the network and it doesn’t slow anything down.
Phishing, ransomware and malware protection at the network level
Phishing
A convincing email with a malicious link is still the most common way attackers get into Australian businesses. DNS security blocks the destination even if someone clicks. The link goes nowhere. The damage doesn’t start.
Ransomware
Ransomware needs to communicate with external servers to encrypt your files. DNS filtering blocks that communication at the network level, cutting off the attack before encryption begins.
Malware and malicious downloads
Compromised websites and drive-by downloads are blocked before anything reaches a device. For businesses running Microsoft 365, this adds a layer of protection beneath your email filtering and endpoint security. It picks up what those tools miss.
24/7 managed security monitoring from the Synergy SOC
Every connection your business makes through Synergy Secure Internet is monitored by our Security Operations Centre. Our team watches for blocked threats, unusual patterns and changes in network behaviour around the clock.
When something is flagged, we don’t just send you an alert and leave it there. We investigate, work out what happened and give you a clear summary: what was blocked, why it matters and whether you need to do anything. Most of the time, you won’t need to act at all, because we’ve already handled it.
Running a dedicated security operations function in-house isn’t realistic for most small businesses. With Synergy Secure Internet, you get security as a service (SECaaS) that gives you that capability as part of the package, not as a separate cost.
Real-time monitoring
Our SOC team sees every blocked threat the moment it happens.
Threat investigation
We don’t just log alerts. We investigate, respond and report back.
Clear reporting
You get a plain-language summary of what happened and what to do next.
Secure internet for small business Sydney
Synergy Secure Internet is designed for small and medium businesses across Sydney. Whether you run a single office, a hybrid team or multiple locations, the service scales to match.
If your business sits in a regulated industry, accounting, legal, healthcare or financial services, a breach doesn’t just mean downtime. It means compliance exposure. DNS-layer protection supports frameworks like the Essential Eight and Privacy Act 1988 without adding complexity to your day-to-day operations.
Organisations with remote or hybrid workers get the most from this service. The protection follows your team wherever they connect, not just when they’re in the office.
Managed DNS security that fits your existing network
You don’t need to replace your firewall, your endpoint protection or your internet connection. Synergy Secure Internet sits on top of your existing setup.
Step 1: We configure
We set up DNS security across your office network and up to five hybrid workers as part of the base service. For larger teams, we extend the deployment. A backup 4G connection is included so your business stays online if the primary link drops.
Step 2: We monitor
Our SOC team watches your network around the clock. When a threat is blocked, we see it. When traffic patterns shift, we investigate.
Step 3: We respond
If something needs your attention, we tell you what happened and what to do next. If it doesn’t, we handle it and move on. You get managed internet services with security built in, not bolted on.
Need help with the broader IT picture? Our IT consulting team works alongside the security service to make sure everything connects.

Frequently asked questions about managed DNS security
What is DNS security and how does it protect my business?
DNS security filters your internet traffic at the network level. Every time a device on your network tries to reach a website or online service, the request is checked against threat intelligence databases. If the destination is flagged as malicious, the connection is blocked before it’s made. That stops phishing, malware and ransomware before they reach your devices.
Do I need to replace my existing firewall or antivirus?
No. DNS security works alongside what you already have. It sits beneath your firewall and endpoint tools and catches threats they may miss. It adds to your current setup rather than replacing it.
Does it cover remote and hybrid workers?
Yes. The base service covers your office network and up to five hybrid workers. For larger teams, we extend the deployment. Protection follows your staff wherever they connect.
How is this different from a standard internet filter?
A content filter blocks categories of websites. DNS security uses real-time threat intelligence to block known malicious domains, command-and-control servers and phishing sites. It’s an active security control, not a productivity filter.
What happens when a threat is detected?
The connection is blocked before any data is exchanged. Our SOC team monitors all blocked threats around the clock. If we spot patterns or targeted activity, we investigate and let you know what’s happening and what (if anything) you need to do.
Can this help with our compliance obligations?
DNS-layer security supports frameworks including the Essential Eight, Privacy Act 1988 and industry-specific requirements. It demonstrates proactive network-level controls, which regulators and cyber insurers increasingly expect to see. If you want a broader view of where your business sits, talk to us about our cyber security services.
How quickly can it be set up?
For most small businesses, we can have it running within days. We handle the configuration across your network and devices. Your team doesn’t need to do anything.
