DNS Security is configured within the Anti-Spyware Profile (Objects > Security Profiles > Anti-Spyware > DNS Policies tab).

Within the Anti-Spyware profile, administrators can specify DNS Security categories and define actions (allow, sinkhole, block) for each threat category detected by the cloud-based DNS Security service.
