Control D API Orchestration: AI-driven network control

Swiftask connects your AI agents to the Control D API. Manage your DNS rules, security filters, and network policies dynamically and automatically.

Result:

Boost operational agility by eliminating manual repetitive configurations on your Control D endpoints.

Manual network rule management is a bottleneck

Configuring filtering rules or modifying DNS policies via Control D requires constant manual intervention. As your infrastructure grows, complexity rises, leading to configuration errors and slower response times.

Main negative impacts:

  • Human error risks: Repetitive manual configuration increases the statistical probability of critical errors in your DNS rules.
  • Operational latency: Applying a policy change across multiple endpoints consumes valuable time your technical teams should spend on development.
  • Lack of centralized visibility: Without orchestration, it is difficult to correlate your rule changes with detected security events.

Swiftask turns your Control D management into an automated process. Your AI agents trigger the necessary API calls to update your rules in real time based on your business requirements.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Traditional management

An administrator must manually log into the Control D dashboard to update security filters. If an incident occurs, the response time depends on human availability.

Orchestration with Swiftask

Swiftask detects a need (via webhook or alert) and instantly executes the appropriate Control D endpoints. Your rules are updated in milliseconds, without intervention.

Automate Control D in four simple steps

STEP 1 : Agent configuration

Create your Swiftask agent and securely authorize access to your Control D API credentials.

STEP 2 : Trigger definition

Set up your trigger events: security alerts, schedule changes, or external system requests.

STEP 3 : Action mapping

Associate your agent actions with specific Control D API endpoints (e.g., modifying filtering rules).

STEP 4 : Deployment and execution

Activate the workflow. Swiftask now handles API communication autonomously and securely.

Advanced orchestration capabilities

The agent analyzes request parameters, validates access rights, and checks the current state of your Control D configuration before every call.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in control d based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Dynamic profile modification, DNS blocklist updates, network policy switching, API call logging.
  • Native governance: Swiftask ensures log persistence for every API interaction, facilitating your network infrastructure audit.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-control-d@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.

Why choose Swiftask for Control D

1. Accelerated incident response

Automate domain blocking or unblocking based on your threat detection tools.

2. Standardized rules

Apply uniform configurations across all your Control D profiles using predefined templates.

3. Effortless scalability

Manage thousands of rule changes without increasing your technical teams' workload.

4. Enhanced security

Reduce attack surface by automating security updates based on real-time intelligence.

5. Seamless API integration

Swiftask abstracts the technical complexity of the Control D API for native integration.

Security and Data Integrity

Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your control d automations.

  • Secure API key management: Your Control D credentials are encrypted and isolated within your Swiftask environment.
  • Granular control: Limit agent actions to only the necessary endpoints to respect the principle of least privilege.
  • Full audit trail: Every API call to Control D is tracked in the Swiftask execution history.
  • Compliance: Ensure total traceability for your network security audits and internal compliance.
