Maribor, 21.02.2025 – REAL Security, a leading value-added distributor in cybersecurity, has officially signed a distribution agreement with Whalebone, bringing advanced DNS security solutions to companies and institutions across the Balkan region. This partnership aligns with Whalebone’s mission to secure critical digital infrastructure, offering protection against elusive threats like phishing, DNS spoofing, and malware—without the need for software installation or maintenance.
As cyber threats in the Balkans continue to grow in scale and sophistication, DNS security has become a crucial element in cybersecurity strategies. With Whalebone Immunity, organizations can now protect all network-connected devices without interfering with employee workflows.
“The DNS resolver blocks access to malicious websites, prevents DNS-based attacks, and adds a critical security layer that even the best endpoint protection solutions and firewalls often miss,” explains Alen Šalamun, CTO of REAL security d.o.o..
Whalebone’s Role in Securing Europe: The DNS4EU Initiative
Beyond enterprise cybersecurity, Whalebone is leading the European Union’s DNS4EU initiative, a groundbreaking program designed to secure critical infrastructure and services across Europe. As the appointed Consortium Leader, Whalebone is working alongside 13 partners from 10 countries to develop and operate the official EU-based DNS resolver, ensuring an independent and highly secure DNS infrastructure for institutions and citizens.
“Cooperation on this level has never been done before,” states George Buhai, Senior Government Liaison at Whalebone. “Our work with CERTs, CSIRTs, and national cybersecurity agencies ensures that threats discovered in one country can be blocked before they spread across multiple regions.”
The DNS4EU project, supported by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), provides robust DNS security for public institutions, ministries, municipalities, healthcare, education, and other essential services, helping organizations comply with EU regulations while keeping sensitive data within European borders.
A Strategic Partnership for the Balkans
The partnership between REAL Security and Whalebone represents a significant step forward in strengthening cybersecurity across the Balkans, ensuring that businesses, government agencies, and other organizations have access to cutting-edge DNS protection.
Miroslav Dysek, Whalebone’s Channel Manager, highlights the importance of this collaboration:“A successful business partnership is more than just distribution—it’s about working together to foster growth and strengthen cybersecurity across the region. With REAL Security’s expertise and reseller network, we can make a real impact in securing Balkan organizations.”
Through this agreement, REAL Security and Whalebone are committed to providing best-in-class cybersecurity solutions, helping organizations in the Balkans stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
