Zurich, Switzerland and New York, New York — 11 June 2025

In an important step forward for global cybersecurity, Quad9 and BforeAI are expanding their strategic partnership to accelerate protection against cyber attacks before they occur. As a newly announced Quad9 sponsor, BforeAI is deepening its commitment to Quad9’s mission of providing privacy-respecting, secure DNS services for millions of users worldwide.

In this enhanced collaboration, BforeAI continues to integrate its PreCrime™ Intelligence feeds into the Quad9 threat blocking platform. PreCrime Intelligence provides 98% unique predictive threat indicators compared to conventional platforms, identifying malicious infrastructure in its infancy and enabling Quad9 to preemptively block user access to fraudulent and harmful domains.

“Our work with Quad9 is a powerful example of PreCrime Intelligence being operationalized at scale,” said Luigi Lenguito, co-founder and CEO of BforeAI. “By sharing our insights into future malicious infrastructure before attacks happen, we avert millions of fraud victims every day. This collaboration fundamentally shifts defense left of the ‘boom’—moving from a reactive posture to preemptively stopping attacks before any victims are made, significantly enhancing internet safety for hundreds of millions globally.”

This integration reinforces Quad9’s position as a global leader in privacy-first DNS security, now benefiting from even more precise predictive threat intelligence. With hundreds of millions of users protected daily in more than 240 locations worldwide, Quad9’s growing impact is a testament to the power of open collaboration among like-minded defenders.

“BforeAI’s forward-looking threat intelligence gives our platform an even sharper edge in blocking malicious domains before they reach users,” says Simon Forster, General Manager of Quad9. “This partnership embodies the privacy-respecting, secured DNS approach that Quad9 is built upon.”

The timing of this expanded partnership couldn’t be more critical. As cyber threats continue to evolve in speed and sophistication, security providers must move beyond reactive models. This joint effort between Quad9 and BforeAI delivers on that imperative—disrupting attacks in their planning stages and helping to ensure a safer digital future for all.
