York, NY, March 29, 2018
– Mayor De Blasio
launched NYC Secure, a
cybersecurity initiative
to protect New Yorkers
from malicious cyber
activity including when
they access the NYC
public WiFi. Part of the
NYC Secure effort is the
adoption of the Quad9
cybersecurity platform
across all New York City
guest and public WiFi
access locations. Quad9
provides an automated
security solution by
leveraging the domain
name system, known as
the DNS, to block known
malicious and bad
websites through the use
of more than 18 threat
intelligence feeds. Not
only does Quad9 provide
a robust layer of
security, it is highly
privacy-preserving as no
personally identifiable
information is collected
or stored. Quad9 is a
free, easy to use
service available to any
organization,
corporation, or
individual.</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">By
using Quad9 the city is
also leveraging an
investment made by NYC.
Quad9 was created, in
part, by the Global
Cyber Alliance (GCA), a
non-profit that was
founded by Manhattan
District Attorney Cy
Vance, Jr., the City of
London Police, and the
Center for Internet
Security, with a seed
investment of asset
forfeiture funds
provided by the
Manhattan District
Attorney.</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">“This
is a tremendous step in
protecting citizens
against all manner of
cyber risk,” said Mary
Kavaney, Chief Operating
Officer of the Global
Cyber Alliance (GCA).
“The city in delivering
free WiFi as a public
service is taking a
significant step to
ensure that the service
is provided with
security built in while
at the same time
protecting New Yorkers’
privacy. While it’s
impossible to protect
against every threat,
using Quad9 to protect
against known malicious
sites is a huge benefit
to users of the service.
On behalf of GCA, we
commend New York City
for taking this step.”</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">“Quad9
was built with the
public in mind. It is a
free service that
provides security and
protects the privacy of
its users,” said John
Todd, Executive Director
of Quad9. “We’re very
encouraged to see New
York City embracing
Quad9 and using it for
public good, and we hope
New York’s leadership in
implementing this free
service is a model for
other cities to use to
protect their citizens
and networks.”</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">“NYC
Secure delivers a
world-class
cybersecurity upgrade to
New Yorkers and all who
use our City’s expanding
public WiFi network,”
said Manhattan District
Attorney Cyrus R. Vance,
Jr. “In 2015, I joined
with the City of London
Police and Center for
Internet Security to
found the non-profit
Global Cyber Alliance
(GCA), which
co-developed the Quad9
technology being
adopted today. We are
delighted to see the
work of GCA and its
partners integrated into
groundbreaking programs
like NYC Secure, which
will expand the reach of
safe-browsing technology
and protect millions of
residents and visitors
alike. I commend Mayor
de Blasio and his
administration for its
proactive and
collaborative approach
to combat the rising
tide of cybercrime.”</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">“I
applaud Mayor De Blasio
for including Quad9 in
his NYC Secure
initiative which
establishes New York
City as a leader in
helping to protect its
citizens from malicious
websites,” said John
Gilligan, Executive
Chairman, Center for
Internet Security.</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">“The
strength of the Global
Cyber Alliance and the
tools it has developed,
such as Quad9, lie in
the global partnerships
that support it. By
harnessing talent and
commitment from the
within industry and the
public sector, we take a
step closer to tackling
cyber crime,” said Ian
Dyson, Commissioner,
City of London Police.</p>
<p style="margin:10px
0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Quad9
was conceived of by GCA
and built in
collaboration with IBM
and Packet Clearing
House (PCH). Since its
launch in November of
2017, Quad9 usage has
increased more than
27-fold and is used in
more than 150 countries
around the world,
resolving billions of
queries every day. Each
day, approximately 2
million domain lookups
are blocked, protecting
the end user from
connecting to a
malicious destination.
These blocked lookups
represent attempts to
reach phishing,
ransomware, botnet
command and control
servers, and other forms
of harmful or fraudulent
systems.<br>
To start using Quad9
today, simply change
your DNS settings in
your device or router to
point to 9.9.9.9. Learn
