Track the DNS changes that break websites, email and trust long before a customer tells you something is wrong.
AIDE snapshots live DNS state, compares changes over time and turns record drift into actionable alerts for teams managing many domains at once.
What teams get on this page
Before and after record diffs
Coverage across record types
Timeline context for investigations
What teams need answered fast
Most DNS incidents are not dramatic hacks. They are quiet changes with expensive side effects.
Who changed the record
Even when attribution is external, teams still need immediate proof of what changed and when.
What moved during a migration
Hosting and provider moves often leave one broken record behind while the rest looks correct.
How serious is this diff
An MX or TXT change can carry much more risk than a routine A record update, especially across a large client set.
What AIDE checks
AIDE keeps a live baseline of DNS state so change detection is immediate and reviewable.
Record snapshots
Store a current baseline across important record types instead of relying on ad hoc lookups.
Change diffs
Show before and after values so responders understand the exact operational blast radius.
Nameserver visibility
Surface nameserver movement that may indicate migration activity, takeover risk or registrar issues.
Historical context
Put each change into a timeline so teams can separate normal churn from suspicious drift.
How this fits into the platform
DNS monitoring is the connective tissue for email security, SSL renewal and domain risk visibility.
Inside AIDE, DNS diffs do not live in isolation. They trigger follow-up checks, update intelligence views and explain why other infrastructure signals suddenly degraded.

TXT record changes directly affect SPF, DKIM, DMARC and transport security policies.
Zone transfer monitoring
Go deeper when the DNS question is not just change detection but whether the zone is exposed.
Subdomain takeover monitoring
Tie DNS drift to dangling CNAME exposure and subdomain ownership risk.
Start with record diffs, then connect DNS activity to the rest of your operating model.
AIDE helps teams turn raw DNS changes into portfolio workflows for alerting, investigation and risk prioritization.
